Call it Zen and the Art of Farming or a Little Green Book, Masanobu Fukuokas manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical. It is an inspiring, necessary book about agriculture because it is not just about agriculture.Trained as a scientist, Fukuoka rejected both modern agribusiness and centuries of agricultural practice, deciding instead that the best forms of cultivation mirror natures own laws. Over the next three decades he perfected his so-called do-nothing technique: commonsense, sustainable practices that all but eliminate the use of pesticides, fertilizer, tillage, and perhaps most significantly, wasteful effort.

In twenty short books Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement In The Dragonfly Will Be the Messiah the celebrated pioneer of the do nothing farming method reflects on global ecological trauma and argues that we must radically transform our understanding of both nature and ourselves in order to have any chance of healing Over the past 75 years a new canon has emerged As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration Their words have endured through the decades becoming the classics of a movement Together these books show the richness of environmental thought and point the way to a fairer saner greener world
