The article discusses an approach to farming, based on Masanobu Fukuoka's book "The One-Straw Revolution." Fukuoka began his experiments in what he calls natural farming in the 1930s. Japan, like many other countries, was being swept along in a wave of enthusiasm for artificial fertilizers and ploughing by machinery. He decided to develop an approach to growing rice and vegetables that required minimum intervention from man. Instead of ploughing, he adds straw and poultry manure to the ground, and sows clover as a green manure. |
