The book that got me into this was Mark Shepard's 'Restoration Agriculture". [1] His "New Forest Farm" in WI has been making use of these ideas for some time now. [2]
Shepard got his inspiration from Permaculture [3] and the books, "Tree Crops", [4] and "The One Straw Revolution". [5]

- mahaganapati 6y agoOne Straw Revolution changed my life. It inspired me to learn permaculture first hand. It's such an enjoyable book to read
- mkmk2 6y agoSeconded, also a great read if you're just casually interested
- LunaSea 6y agoFukuoka's own apprentices declared that his methods flat out didn't work. Lots of permaculture practices are pure dogma and don't have a scientific justification. All the permaculture farms I could find were profitable thanks to free outside input or through selling training sessions.
