Masanobu Fukuoka

If I would be a farmer and not a samurai, I would commit to the ideology of preserving mother nature and using the very methods to minimize the use of pesticides and base my farming on the principles of biodynamic.

Masanobu Fukuoka, born 2 February 1913 –16 August 2008 was Japanese farmer and philosopher who was instrumental in natural farming: https://vinyessonalegre.com/2018/03/07/masanobu-fukuoka-and-the-four-principles-of-natural-farming/

“an unaltered natural environment the orderly growth and decay of plant and
animal life fertilizes the soil without any help from man”

Masanobu celebrated for his natural farming and re-vegetation of desertified lands, a proponent of no-till, herbicide and pesticide-free cultivation methods from which he created a particular method of agriculture, commonly referred to as “natural farming” or “do-nothing farming”.
