The Natural Way of Farming

Description

Natural Way of Farming,” authored by Masanobu Fukuoka and published on December 31, 1985, is a seminal work that introduces the revolutionary concept of natural farming, a method that eschews modern agricultural techniques in favor of working harmoniously with nature. Fukuoka, a Japanese farmer and philosopher, advocates for a farming approach that minimizes human intervention and relies on the natural processes of the ecosystem to cultivate crops. Through this book, he presents his philosophy of “do-nothing” farming, which involves no tilling, no chemical fertilizers, no weeding, and no pesticides. “Natural Way of Farming” is both a practical guide and a profound philosophical treatise that challenges conventional agricultural practices and promotes sustainability. It is essential reading for anyone interested in sustainable agriculture, environmental conservation, and holistic living.
