The One-Straw Revolution: An Introduction to Natural Farming Audiobook (Free)

Contact it ‘Zen as well as the Art of Farming’ or a ‘Little Green Publication,’ Masanobu Fukuoka’s manifesto about farming, eating, and the restricts of human knowledge presents a radical concern to the global systems we depend on for our meals. At exactly the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a guy whose innovative system of cultivating the earth displays a deep faith in the wholeness and stability of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book ‘is precious to us since it is at once useful about The One-Straw Revolution: An Introduction to Natural Farming and philosophical. It is an inspiring, required book about agriculture since it is not just about agriculture.’

Trained being a scientist, Fukuoka turned down both modern agribusiness and centuries of agricultural practice, deciding instead that the very best types of cultivation mirror nature’s very own laws. Over the next three decades he perfected his so-called ‘do-nothing’ technique: commonsense, lasting practices that but get rid of the usage of pesticides, fertilizer, tillage, as well as perhaps most significantly, wasteful effort.

Whether you’re a guerrilla gardener or a kitchen gardener, focused on slow food or simply looking to live a wholesome life, you will find something here-you could even be moved to start a revolution of your own.
