NEW YORK REVIEW BOOKS CLASSICS THE ONE-STRAW ...

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.
