by Masanobu Fukuoka
Call it Zen and the Art of Farming or a Little Green Book, Masanobu Fukuoka s manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. Subtitled, An Introduction to Natural Farming.
A manifesto about farming, eating and the limits of human knowledge that presents a radical challenge to the global food systems we rely on. Fukuoka, after training as a scientist and becoming distressed about Japan's post-war modernization, returned to his birthplace to put his natural farming ideas into practice. Fukuoka's innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. In this book he shares his "do-nothing" technique of commonsense, sustainable practices that all but eliminate the use of pesticides, fertilizer, tillage and especially wasteful effort. Copyright 1978, 1986, 2009, Softcover, 185 pages.
Wonderful recommendation from Jeremy. Thoroughly enjoyed the book and definitely have a different perspective on our agricultural industry.
For the longest time I knew this was the way it should be. Natural farming with what grows in your area by using the decayed matter over and over. The chop and drop method if you will, it just makes sense. We are far behind in most places but peoples words turned into books and then turned into another humans ideas and then putting them into action are what can be done to reverse this conundrum we are in out in the Western world. Great book and would loved to have met and worked along side Mr fukuoka in his farm. Aloha
This book is incredible all the way through and I could not put it down. Most of us know what we have to do as far as health and this man Mr. Fukuoka tells it right here as what exactly is happening to us and our earth that we are all connected to. We just let nature do her thing and we oversee what we can help with as it goes. To kind of expedite the process I guess. Get growing and get prepared people. Books can change the world. Aloha
This book is so inspiring! Thank you!
