FARMING / ECOLOGY. Preface by Partap Aggarwal. "Struck by the manner in which modern agriculture and its methods were destroying the soil Fukuoka opted out of his technical career and returned to his village home. Here he resumed traditional farming and refined it so that his methods required less labour and minimal disruption of nature. Fukuoka, today considered one of the most outstanding organic farmers of our century, describes the events that led to the development of his natural farming methods and the impact these have had on his land. He demonstdrates how the way we look at farming influences the way we look at health, the school, nature, nutrition, spiritual health and life itself. This book- an all-time classic - is a clarion call to all of us to abandon modern agriculture and its destructive methods and poisons, and to return to our far richer heritage of working closely and simply with the land.
