Story
When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances. Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web. You’ll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life - not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

The restoration agriculture system described in this award-winning book works! It is possible for humans to produce staple foods using perennial agricultural ecosystems that actually improve the quality of the environment. This can be done on a backyard, farm, or ranch scale and is needed right now - on a global scale. Restoration Agriculture explains how we can have all of the benefits of natural, perennial ecosystems and create agricultural systems that imitate nature in form and function while still providing for our food, building, fuel, and many other needs.

Have you ever desired, deep within your soul, to make a comfortable full-time living from a farming enterprise? Too often people dare not even vocalize this desire because it seems absurd. It's like thinking the unthinkable. After all, the farm population is dwindling. It takes too much capital to start. The pay is too low. The working conditions are dusty, smelly and noisy: Not the place to raise a family. This is all true, and more, for most farmers.

By explaining the lean system for identifying and eliminating waste and introducing efficiency in every aspect of the farm operation, The Lean Farm makes the case that small-scale farming can be an attractive career option for young people who are interested in growing food for their community. Working smarter, not harder, also prevents the kind of burnout that start-up farmers often encounter in the face of long, hard, backbreaking labor. Lean principles grew out of the Japanese automotive industry, but they are now being followed by progressive farms around the world....

Story
To grow produce of the highest nutritional quality the essential minerals lacking in our soil must be replaced, but this re-mineralization calls for far more attention to detail than the simple addition of composted manure or NPK fertilizers. The Intelligent Gardener demystifies the process, while simultaneously debunking much of the false and misleading information perpetuated by both the conventional and organic agricultural movements. In doing so, it conclusively establishes the link between healthy soil, healthy food, and healthy people.

Montgomery introduces us to farmers around the world at the heart of a brewing soil health revolution that could bring humanity's ailing soil back to life remarkably fast.

Fossil fuels and livestock grazing are often targeted as major culprits behind climate change and desertification. But Allan Savory, cofounder of the Savory Institute, begs to differ. The bigger problem, he warns, is our mismanagement of resources. Livestock grazing is not the problem; it's how we graze livestock. If we don't change the way we approach land management, irreparable harm from climate change could continue long after we replace fossil fuels.

Ideas To Save the the World, Told Poorly
- By Shawn Oueinsteen on 10-28-18
By: Jody Butterfield, and others
Publisher's Summary
Call it "Zen and the Art of Farming" or a "Little Green Book", Masanobu Fukuoka's 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 nature's 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.
Whether you're a guerrilla gardener or a kitchen gardener, dedicated to slow food or simply looking to live a healthier life, you will find something here - you may even be moved to start a revolution of your own.

Fukuoka Hits a Home-Run.
The third book that Masanobu Fukuoka has written is a landmark book and explains the natural way of Farming in detail. Back in 1984 I read his first book, then the second book called “The Natural Way Of Farming”, in 1989. Then “The One-Straw Revolution” in 2018, which is one of the “do-nothing” way of Farming books. It is a simply excellent book and is a distillation of his over 50 years of experience upon trial and error methods, which shows how to grow a multitude of edible plants in season and with Nature, not against it. He has transformed clay soil into rich soil, which gets better each year using a no-till method. The way to do it is in tune with Nature and is very simple to do. A 5-star Landmark book You are compelled to listen to it many times. Simply Outstanding.

Love Plants and the Earth? Read This
This is my number one most highly recommended book. As a horticulturist I probably find myself referencing or talking about this book almost every single day. Masanobu Fukuoka has a deep knowledge grown through years of determined and gracious struggle. His efforts have born knowledge that is deeply important to continue to teach to every generation. It is a simplistic, natural, high effort, high reward type of stewardship of our lands that may come off as common sense but through reading this book you will realize there is nothing common about it.

A must read!
Whether you are into farming or not this book is a must read (or listen). Fukuoka lays the groundwork for what we need to do to have meaningful lives that are in line with nature. He questions the need for science not just in agriculture but in other aspects of our lives as well while he himself is a scientist. I am in awe of his method of “natural farming”. Even though this book was written in 1980s the things Fukuoka says about industrial farming and “organic” agriculture are still valid today which shows that in all those years nothing have changed in the world.

Past Wisdom. Future Hope.
Written in the year of my birth I fondly remember reading these words as a young man. Too young and callow to truly understand much of this work then; I do still credit it with being a guiding influence on my journey to now.
'Re-reading' it again after all these years has truly been a revelation. Whilst I don't agree with Masanobu on every point there is much I can still learn from this enlightened Master.
If you feel a yearning towards a more natural and satisfying life, especially in agriculture, then please do yourself a favour and read/listen to this book critically. You will not be the same person at the end, as you were when you started it.
