Description

The One-Straw Revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka has been transforming the lives of its readers since its initial publication in 1978. This book serves as a call to arms, a manifesto, and a radical rethinking of the global systems upon which we rely for sustenance.

It also stands as the memoir of a man whose spiritual beliefs inform every aspect of his innovative farming philosophy. Fukuoka, equally a farmer and a philosopher, is acknowledged as one of the pioneering thinkers in the permaculture movement.

He perfected what he called the "do-nothing" technique, a method of farming that cooperates with nature rather than attempting to reshape it through increasingly complex—and often harmful—methods.

His farm evolved into a gathering place where people from around the world came to learn how to adapt his techniques to their own local cultures.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Masanobu Fukuoka is regarded as a legendary figure among permaculture enthusiasts and advocates of organic and sustainable farming for his innovative, minimalist approach that emphasises deep respect for nature. His writings are considered foundational in the organic growing movement, offering wisdom that is both common sense and inspirational.
