There is no time in modern agriculture for a farmer to write a poem or compose a song
Masanobu FukuokaAs we kill nature, we are killing ourselves, and God incarnate as the world as well.
Masanobu FukuokaThe real path to natural farming requires that a person know what unaltered nature is, so that he or she can instinctively understand what needs to be done - and what must not be done - to work in harmony with its processes.

Masanobu FukuokaMany people think that when we practice agriculture, nature is helping us in our efforts to grow food. This is an exclusively human-centered viewpoint... we should instead, realize that we are receiving that which nature decides to give us. A farmer does not grow something in the sense that he or she creates it. That human is only a small part of the whole process by which nature expresses its being. The farmer has very little influence over that process... other than being there and doing his or her small part.
