About this listen
Call it "Zen and the Art of Farming" or a "Little Green Book", Masanobu Fukuoka's 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 innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes 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."
Trained as a scientist, Fukuoka rejected both modern agribusiness and centuries of agricultural practice, deciding instead that the best forms of cultivation mirror nature's own laws. Over the next three decades, he perfected his so-called "do-nothing" technique: commonsense, sustainable practices that all but eliminate the use of pesticides, fertilizer, tillage, and, perhaps, most significantly, wasteful effort.
Whether you're a guerrilla gardener or a kitchen gardener, dedicated to slow food or simply looking to live a healthier life, you will find something here - you may even be moved to start a revolution of your own.

A short and sweet intro to regenerative farming
One of the first and best books on sustainable agriculture. It's a well written and comprehensive look at the wisdom of Masanobu Fukuoka. Strongly recommended introductory reading for anyone interested in permaculture and sustainable agricultural practices. #Audible1

So enjoyable. Really gets the gears turning
Almost 50 years later and we still have learned nothing. The author's methods are so simple and unconfusing that it blows my mind that we are still working against nature as opposed to with.
Some great little philosophical tidbits in there as well. I dream of the simple life this man lived. Great read highly recommended

A Modern Man
Masanobu Fukuoka is truly a modern man, his regenerative farming techniques and discrimination of the indiscriminate will leave you seeing nature as it should be
