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

Life on a small farm might seem primitive, but by living such a life we become able to discover the Great Path. I believe that one who deeply respects his neighborhood and everyday world in which he lives will be shown the greatest of all worlds.

The final principle of natural farming is NO PESTICIDES. Nature is in perfect balance when left alone.

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

The greening of the desert means sowing seeds in people's hearts and creating a green paradise of peace on earth.

The only sensible approach to disease and insect control, I think, is to grow sturdy crops in a healthy environment.

We must find our way back to true nature. We must set ourselves to the task of revitalizing the earth. Regreening the earth, sowing seeds in the desert--that is the path society must follow.
