The One-straw Revolution

An Introduction To Natural Farming

BY MASANOBU FUKUOKA

Brief Description:
Long out of print in the West - there was a limited availability edition from Friends Center in Rasulia India (whose ideas where much influenced by this book). This manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. Wendell Berry in his preface: "the book is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical. It is an inspiring, necessary book about agriculture because it is not just about agriculture."
