One-Straw Revolution

In 'The One-Straw Revolution,' Masanobu Fukuoka presents a radical approach to farming that rejects modern agribusiness and traditional agricultural practices.

Fukuoka, a trained scientist, returned to his family farm after a life-changing epiphany and developed a system of natural farming over three decades.

His method, often referred to as 'do-nothing farming,' avoids the use of chemicals, tillage, and excessive watering, instead relying on natural processes like planting clover and using rice stalks as ground cover.

The book emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with nature and proposes a way of life and farming that heals both the land and the human spirit.

It has become a cornerstone of the worldwide sustainable agriculture movement and continues to inspire readers with its practical and philosophical insights.
