Magnificent example 1

Just read the subtitle "An introduction to the wild agriculture" to get an idea about this book. The modern industrialized agriculture with machinery, fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, various inputs and GMOs leads humanity in a deadlock. Neither the producer nor the consumer really benefit. Only traders, seed, industrial chemicals and other agricultural machine manufacturers are winning, while our health is deteriorating and that the problem of hunger in the world, far from being solved, is likely to worsen. And there, Fukuoka, with its revolutionary methods of cultivation, might hold the solution. For decades, it no longer plow, sow to the wind, simply harvest the rice then replant winter local grain leaving the straw on the floor. Everything is based on respect and imitation of nature. Fukuoka uses no fertilizer except few droppings of his chickens and gets similar yields to the best of modern agriculture, but without depleting the earth and making it year after year more and more fertile. In fact, he advocates a return to traditional methods before machinery, and even before animal traction. For him, it is enough to observe nature, to be less intrusive and still restore all what it takes. Always rejected, scorned or mocked by the institution, it nevertheless did many followers. Students from around the world come to training on his farm to observe this quiet revolution and learn to play at home. He was the inspiration of permaculture, a technique that meets increasingly echo in the world.
Who wants to learn about agriculture this "wild" must read this book finally little technique and form of witness touching and poetic. The message of peace and respect for Fukuoka is as touching as exciting. It is our finger on how we got away from nature and how it is time to get closer. Produce healthy, tasty and local. What a program ... Wonderful objective may be less difficult to achieve than increasing. Just probably a handful of straw and a dash of common sense.
