> ""The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the
> cultivation and perfection of human beings," Masanobu Fukuoka writes
> in his book "The One Straw Revolution." He has spent 30 years
> perfecting his agricultural techniques on his fertile farm in
> southern Japan. Fukuoka says that his approach to agricultural
> problems always starts with the question, "How about not doing such
> and such?" in contrast to most agricultural thinking which
> presupposes that we can improve on nature.

> Mr. Fukuoka has decided not to plow, not to grow rice in flooded
> fields, and not to use machinery to sow or harvest. What he does do
> on his farm is documented in this unique record of a full year of
> overlapping crops."
