Masanobu Fukuoka Quotes

There is no time in modern agriculture for a farmer to write a poem or compose a song Picture Quote #1

The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings Picture Quote #1

The increasing desolation of nature, the exhaustion of resources, the uneasiness and disintegration of the human spirit, all have been brought about by humanity’s trying to accomplish something Picture Quote #1

Gradually I came to realize that the process of saving the desert of the human heart and revegetating the actual desert is actually the same thing Picture Quote #1

I believe that a revolution can begin from this one strand of straw. Seen at a glance, this rice straw may appear light and insignificant. Hardly anyone would believe that it could start a revolution. But I have come to realize the weight and power of this straw. For me, this revolution is very real Picture Quote #1

Speaking biologically, fruit in a slightly shriveled state is holding its respiration and energy consumption down to the lowest possible level. It is like a person in meditation: his metabolism, respiration, and calorie consumption reach an extremely low level. Even if he fasts, the energy within the body will be conserved. In the same way, when mandarin oranges grow wrinkled, when fruit shrivels, when vegetables wilt, they are in the state that will preserve their food value for the longest possible time Picture Quote #1

I wonder how it is that people’s philosophies have come to spin faster than the changing seasons Picture Quote #1

Modern research divides nature into tiny pieces and conducts tests that conform neither with natural law nor with practical experience. The results are arranged for the convenience of research, not according to the needs of the farmer Picture Quote #1

When a decision is made to cope with the symptoms of a problem, it is generally assumed that the corrective measures will solve the problem itself. They seldom do. Engineers cannot seem to get this through their heads. These countermeasures are all based on too narrow a definition of what is wrong. Human measures and countermeasures proceed from limited scientific truth and judgment. A true solution can never come about in this way Picture Quote #1

If we throw mother nature out the window, she comes back in the door with a pitchfork Picture Quote #1

When it is understood that one loses joy and happiness in the attempt to possess them, the essence of natural farming will be realized. The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings Picture Quote #1
