Fukuoka Masanobu-Natural Farming

Masanobu Fukuoka (Japanese: 福岡 正信, 2 February 1913 - 16 August 2008) was a Japanese farmer and philosopher celebrated for his natural farming and re-vegetation of desertified lands. He was a proponent of no-till, no-herbicide grain cultivation farming methods traditional to many indigenous cultures from which he created a particular method of farming, commonly referred to as "natural farming" or "do-nothing farming".
His influences went beyond farming to inspire individuals within the natural food and lifestyle movements. He was an outspoken advocate of the value of observing nature's principles.
Fukuoka called his agricultural philosophy shizen nōhō (自然農法), most commonly translated into English as "natural farming". It is also referred to as "the Fukuoka Method", "the natural way of farming" or "Do-Nothing Farming".
Fukuoka re-invented and advanced the use of clay seed balls. Clay seed balls were originally an ancient practice in which seeds for the next season's crops are mixed together, sometimes with humus or compost for microbial inoculants, and then are rolled within clay to form into small balls. This method is now commonly used in guerilla gardening to rapidly seed restricted or private areas ..

His Book: One Straw Revolution - If this video content interests you at all his book is a MUST read. One of the most influential books of my entire life.

Amazing.. Can you explain a little bit in what aspects your life changed the most..? 😍😍😊😊👏🏻😁

[@natsellar8982]

Hi Hanna, I live in Shikoku. I've been practicing no dig farming for about a year now. I'm keen to learn his principles and share my knowledge. Let me know if you wish to get in contact... Nathaneal in Matsuyama.

​@@natsellar8982 How did you get started farming in Japan? Did you marry into it or some other way?

[@bobterhaar9091]

Very BIG thank you for posting this material! As far as I know this wasnt to be found anywhere before. It's like discovering a forgotten fruit tree in the fields to me. Big love and keep on doing less every day ;)

[@ashetonbiggerstaff5106]

I love how he carries the umbrella and aerates the ground while he walks. Making little holes for seeds to fall into, just like nature does.

[@natsellar8982]

Hi, my name is Nat. I live in the same island as this man. I practice no dig, organic farming not in exactly the same manner as Fukuoka san, but similar. I am keen to learn from his teachings. Does anyone know how I might contact his family and visit his home town?

[@stevegreen4954]
