His philosophy and the Four Principles of Natural Farming are:

• No cultivation
• No chemical fertilizer or prepared compost
• No weeding by tillage and herbicides
• No pruning of fruit trees
• No dependence on chemicals

From just this one straw ... a Revolution could begin.
Masanobu Fukuoka

Unless people can become natural people, 

there can be neither natural farming nor natural food.

Masanobu Fukuoka

To the extent that people separate themselves from Nature, 

they spin further and further from the Centre.
Masanobu Fukuoka

Natural Farming is not simply a way of growing crops; 

it is the cultivation and perfection of human beings.
