Natural Agriculture: Theory and Practice for a Green Philosophy| Thierry Piélat, Masanobu Fukuoka

Imagine what agriculture would be like without fertilizers, chemical herbicides, compost... Fukuoka learned not to ask the impossible of nature and, in return, he achieves incredibly high yields. Instead of striving to do more and more, he sought ways to do less, to put an end to useless work, yet his land becomes richer year after year. He reduced his costs, equipment, and technical means to the bare minimum, to adhere to a self-sufficient economy that preserves a healthier and more balanced natural cycle. He offers us the inspiring image of properly managed land, the cornerstone of a society based on sufficiency, permanence, and enabling self-regeneration.
