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

In my opinion, if 100% of the people were farming it would be ideal. If each person were given one quarter-acre, that is 1 1/4 acres to a family of five, that would be more than enough land to support the family for the whole year. If natural farming were practiced, a farmer would also have plenty of time for leisure and social activities within the village community. I think this is the most direct path toward making this country a happy, pleasant land.

Since I turned the fields back to their natural state, I can't say I've had any really difficult problems with insects or disease.

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

There is no one so great as the one who does not try to accomplish anything

We have come to the point at which there is no other way than to bring about a 'movement' not to bring anything about

The 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.
