Description
The earth is in great peril due to humanity's destructive actions. Global poverty, starvation, and desertification are widespread issues that require a fundamental shift in our approach to the natural world. Masanobu Fukuoka, who grew up on a farm in Japan, has developed a revolutionary new way of farming called "natural farming." This method involves working with nature, rather than against it. Fukuoka's philosophy is based on an insight he had while working as a customs inspector for plants, which changed his life forever. In this book, Fukuoka describes his approach to natural farming and its potential benefits for society. He argues that by changing our methods of earth stewardship, we can reverse the current state of global trauma and create a more sustainable future.
