Masanobu Fukuoka (1913–2008) was a visionary Japanese farmer, philosopher, and author, renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to natural farming and sustainable agriculture. Born in Japan’s Tokushima Prefecture, Fukuoka dedicated his life to revolutionizing agricultural practices. His seminal work, “The One-Straw Revolution” (1975), not only challenged prevailing farming methodologies but also ignited a global movement towards ecological farming. Fukuoka’s approach, rooted in the concept of “do-nothing farming” or “natural farming,” emphasized minimal intervention and a deep respect for the inherent wisdom of nature. Rejecting chemical fertilizers and pesticides, he advocated for practices that nurtured soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance. Beyond his literary contributions, Fukuoka’s legacy extends to his practical experiments on his farm in Japan, where he demonstrated the viability and sustainability of his methods. His profound insights continue to inspire farmers, environmentalists, and sustainable agriculture advocates worldwide, fostering a deeper understanding of humanity’s interconnectedness with the natural world.
