This is a tribute to a great visionary.. Masanobu Fukuoka
A great man who answered the call of the Nature
During my college days ,I have studied about him.
And I admired his philosophy..
He devoted his entire life to one cause-the nature
And developed a new path
That voice of the heart helped him to establish a revolutionary method of sustainable agriculture. His system is called Natural farming, Fukuoka Farming, or the Fukuoka Method.
He is the author of The One Straw Revolution,The Road Back to Nature and The Natural Way Of Farming, is one of the pioneers of no-till grain cultivation.
He was born in February 2, 1913 and died on August 16, 2008
He said:
“Natural farming is not just for growing crops, it is for the cultivation and perfection of human beings.
“Giving up your ego is the shortest way to unification with nature.”
