For those interested in these matters, the books by Masanobu Fukuoka (1) are a must. They may challenge some of the HN crowd views on progress, technology and religion, as they did definitely challenge mine, but they carry significative scientific truths. His focus on fighting desertification was both genius and ahead of his time.

- xkarga00 10y agoThe One Straw Revolution has been very inspiring for me. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to learn about natural farming.
- oska 10y agoInspired me so much that I flew to Tokyo, caught an overnight ferry to Shikoku and then hitch-hiked across the island to visit his farm. Met the man and spent the day looking around the farm/orchard. It was very beautiful. Unfortunately he was then too old for me to stay longer (I'd had dreams of living and working on the farm). This was back in 1990.
- pilooch 10y agoBeautiful! If you have pictures and one day blog a few lines about this encounter, I'd be delighted to read it!
- oska 10y agoThanks for your interest. I should write it up. I also visited an organic mikan farming co-operative not far from Fukuoka's farm on Shikoku and stayed there a few days. Actually he suggested it to me.
