Masanobu Fukuoka (1913 – 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 book ‘The One-Straw Revolution’ was published in 1975 and has been translated into over 20 languages.
