The Road Back to Nature: Regaining the Paradise Lost

For over fifty years, the author of this revealing book has devoted his life to farming as a spiritual path. Acclaimed in his native land for his paradoxical wisdom, Fukuoka has pioneered in showing that culture is agriculture, that the roots of a healthy, whole way of life can be found in farming, and that tilling the land and growing magnificent products need not be laborious. Here are Fukuoka’s secrets to farming the natural way— first giving the theory and practice of working with nature, and living the better for it; then explaining in a practical and down-to-earth manner how to go about using his revolutionary techniques to make lasting peace with the earth and with ourselves. 

Profusely illustrated with “how-to” photographs, figures and tabl clearly explained in a lucid text, this book has a provocative message for farmers, gardeners, and general readers, leading all to self-renewal thr the land.
