THE NATURAL WAY OF FARMING

In this second book after "One Straw Revolution" Fukuoka gives us a more detailed perspective on dealing with natural farming both theoritically and in practice. In this volume he criticizes modern agriculture harshly with its impacts on earth and human communities. He unfolds the illusions of agricultural science which relies on an inductive methodology and thus misses the whole picture and a holistic perspective. He then describes his "do-nothing farming" method more precisely giving examples of his long-lasting farming journey with nature. Although Fukuoka repeatedly mentions that natural farming can only be learned through observing nature itself, granting it as the true mentor he nevertheless proposes some techniques and methods to use. But more importantly, mentioning the nature as the true mentor, he teaches us how to be true students of nature and how to ask our questions to recieve the answers.
