Natural Farming + Masanobu Fukuoka

This is the first of many shows exploring different themes in Permaculture and related fields with audio clips, interviews & anything else I can find. I will still continue to record interviews as frequent as I can with incredible folks, but these shows are going to be more about the elders and roots of this movement. I could not think of a better person to start with than a wise sage from Japan named Masanobu Fukuoka and explore what 'Natural Farming' is all about...

"The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings."

Masanobu Fukuoka is considered a pioneer and father of the 'Natural Farming' movement. His ideas were also a leading inspiration for the concepts and principles of Permaculture. In this show I share some audio clips from different videos and interviews with and about Fukuoka explaining his natural farming philosophy. If you listen to this show in entirety, you will begin to understand his ideas extend much further beyond agriculture and apply to life and our relationship with Nature. Because of that, his unique approach has also been an incredible influence on our own relationship with Nature...Learn more and get a free download of his book, One Straw Revolution here >

Show Update: In case you didn't see this message yet...Spring is here on our homestead and we're busy outdoors in the bright sun & fresh air after a long winter hibernation making the most of our short growing season. So that being said, I'll be doing shows roughly twice a month instead of weekly this spring & summer. Stay tuned for new shows roughly every other Friday. Thanks for listening & I hope you enjoy the outdoors too!
