Masanobu Fukuoka


I am very thankful to my friend who introduced me to Masanobu Fukuoka. It was a rewarding experience to know his way of Natural farming. And I am amazed by his understanding of politics, read the following to have an idea.
"I think the world is coming to a very dangerous point. The United States has the power to destroy the world but also to help the world. I wonder if people in this country realize that the United States is helping the people in Somalia but also killing them. Making them grow coffee, sugar and giving them food. The Japanese government is the same way. It gives them clothes, and the Italian government gives them macaroni. The United States is trying to make them bread eaters. The people in Ethiopia cook rice, barley and vegetables. They are happy being small farmers. The United States government is telling them to work, work, like slaves on a big farm, growing coffee. The United States is telling them that they can make money and be happy that way."
Never miss out on an opportunity to read his books if you love nature.
