Description
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. This spiritual memoir reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world.
Trained as a scientist, Fukuoka rejected both modern agribusiness and centuries of agricultural practice, deciding instead that the best forms of cultivation mirror nature's own laws. His innovative system, known as the "do-nothing" technique, uses commonsense, sustainable practices that all but eliminate the use of pesticides, fertilizer, tillage, and wasteful effort.
Whether you're a guerrilla gardener or a kitchen gardener, dedicated to slow food or simply looking to live a healthier life, you will find something here. You may even be moved to start a revolution of your own.
