Of Course, I Have Made

If You Do Not Try To Make Food Delicious, You Will Find That Nature Has Made It So.

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.

Many 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.

The Final Principle Of Natural Farming Is No Pesticides. Nature Is In Perfect Balance When Left Alone.

One Thing Is All Things. To Resolve One Matter, One Must Resolve All Matters. Changing One Thing Changes All Things. Once I Made The Decision To Sow Rice In The Fall, I Found That I Could Also Stop Transplanting, And Plowing, And Applying Chemical Fertilizers, And Preparing Compost, And Spraying Pesticides.
