The One-Straw Revolution

A short but profound little book, Masanobu Fukuoka's classic "Little Green Book" is part memoir, part manifesto, part unconventional farming manual. In the spirit of Wendell Berry (who wrote the preface), Fukuoka responds to the increasing trend of large-scale commercial agriculture that swept the world by doing the exact opposite: mixing crops in a disorderly and non-mechanized fashion, seeking natural balance, short term satisfaction, and long-term prosperity and sustainability. This book will change the way you think about food, farms, capitalism, and the world around you. It's a keeper.
