We’ve been meaning to read this seminal work for ages

Time to get down to work! Fukuoka published this book in 1975. He is the father of what he calls natural farming. By letting nature take its course and keeping human intervention to an absolute minimum, he realised that his rice yields were higher than with conventional farming. Even without external inputs, the primary effect of his farming method is to enrich the soil rather than deplete it. Fascinating!
