The One Straw Revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka

Watch Beyond 50's book trailer on "The One Straw Revolution" that is narrated by the book's editor Larry Korn. In 1973, he was under the tutelage of his Sensei (teacher), Masanobu Fukuoka, who lived in Shikoku Island, Japan. Korn received a hands-on education in the art of non-cultivation and do-nothing, natural farming. Translated in many languages, Masanobu Fukuoka wrote "The One Straw Revolution," (New York Book Reviews), a classic memoir and guide. You'll learn about his philosophy and the Four Principles of Natural Farming: no cultivation; no chemical fertilizer or prepare compost; no weeding by tillage and herbicides; and no dependence on chemicals. Even though his methods require less labor, it can result in higher yields for your farm or garden. To learn more, visit www.onestrawrevolution.net.

masanobu fukuoka was a man way ahead of his time. it's especially clear in the time we live, that his way of producing food and life is probably the only way out of the money crazed world.

Fantastic! One of the most inspiring films about natural farming. Have recently gotten into the ideas of Masanobu Fukuoka and find it brilliant in its natural simplicity and essence of being in Harmony with Nature. Thanks for sharing this film. Peace

With a name like Larry Corn no wonder he became his student :)

Great video!!! I just find the bell rings quite annoying to my ears (when you quote Fukuoka-san).

Thank you for posting!
