Preview — Sowing Seeds in the Desert by Masanobu Fukuoka
The earth is in great peril, due to the corporatization of agriculture, the rising climate crisis, and the ever-increasing levels of global poverty, starvation, and desertification on a massive scale. This present condition of global trauma is not 'natural,' but a result of humanity's destructive actions. And, according to Masanobu Fukuoka, it is reversible. We need to cha..more

Fukuoka đã rất nổi tiếng trong giới nông nghiệp hữu cơ Việt Nam với cuốn Cách mạng rơm được in trước đó. Là triết gia kiêm nông dân chân chính, ông đã thành công trong việc chuyển từ địa hạt khoa học sang hòa hợp với tự nhiên. May 20, 2013Brandon rated it really liked it
Gần như Fukuoka đã phản bội lại lời nguyện của chính mình từ sau khi viết Cách mạng rơm là sẽ ở nhà tận hưởng thiên nhiên cho tới cuối đời. Lão đã lang bạt khắp nơi để chỉ cho những đứa trẻ ở châu Phi cách trồng cây từ seed bomb, trồng cây ở những nơi đang bị sa mạc hóa như..more

Though I was looking for more of a practical guide to permaculture, this was the only book my library had that was even close to the subject. This is more of a philosophical book, talking about his beliefs on nature, science, as well as giving sort of a history of how he came to his method of natural farming, as well as some of his travels and efforts in trying to spread the ideas.
I read it in a couple hours of highly engaged reading. I really like this man's take on farming and the best way fo..more

Masanobu Fukuoka..I have now read his first book, One Straw Revolution, and his last, Sowing Seeds in the Desert. There is such a distance between eastern and western ways of knowing and thinking, I like how provocative it is to explore the spaces between them. I like how this book sets them in dialogue. Reading Fukuoka reminds me of seeing the Dalai Lama talk at the LSE -- they seem so idealistic, they speak using familiar words but in such different ways, seem so removed and unworldly and thu..more
Fukuoka did with farming what Ueshiba Morihei did with martial arts--he radically transformed it by doing (what appears to be) less. And like Osensei, the inspiration to do so came to him suddenly, in a satori-like moment. From such revelations have sprung Aikido and natural farming. Really, they are the same thing.
I know some readers are disappointed by Fukuoka's books because they don't really seem to say anything. At times it reads like hippie nonsense, 'drop seeds not bombs,' etc. Osensei w..more

Một cuốn sách cực kỳ hấp dẫn khác của bác Fukuoka. Sách xứng đáng là cuốn sách gối đầu giường của những ai có ý định hoặc đang trên đường làm nông theo cách tự nhiên.

Having read Masanobu's first book, The One-Straw Revolution, I was excited to dig into Sowing Seeds in the Desert to gain more knowledge on his techniques and the practical applications of such. Disappointingly the book mostly deals with his philosophy of natural farming & being at one with nature.
It's a good book, but the majority of it is to do with his philosophy which wasn't of that much interest to me. There's some interesting recounts of travels through India & the United States of..more
I found a few interesting insights in this book. However, it wasn't what I expected. The author talks a lot about zen and being one with the earth. Overall it just didn't seem very practical or helpful.

Fukuoka is a Japanese farmer and philosopher who largely coined the term natural farming. Natural farming is an approach to farming that eliminates the use of manufactured inputs and equipment, and instead, leverages the work of nature and ecosystems. Fukuoaka’s philosophy isn’t so much to “do-nothing”, but to work together with nature, not separate from nature. This book is about Fukuoka’s experiences in developing and promoting natural farming.
Fukuoka claims that natural farming provides yield..more
This book is informally organized into two sections. The first is an overview of Fukuoka's philosophies regarding re-greening the man-made deserts of the earth. The second is part of the story of how he came to these philosophies, where he has seen them work, and how he himself applied them. When I started reading the first part seemed a bit preachy and out of character for Fukuoka. It was not until I finished reading the book that I understood why it was presented in that way. Maybe it could ha..more

Ông Fukuoka được xem như người khởi sướng phong trào nông nghiệp thuần tự nhiên, đối lập hoàn toàn với nông trào hiện đại. Cuốn sách không chỉ nói về cách thức nguyên lý phủ xanh và gieo mầm trên sa mạc, nơi mà con người nghĩ rằng cây cỏ không thể tồn tại. Sách còn thể hiện triết lý và quan niệm sống của ông về tính thống nhất của tự nhiên, cây cỏ, sông nước, sinh vật, con người nên được xem là 1 thể thống nhất không thể tách rời.

Masanobu Fukuoka was a farmer and philosopher who first became a leader in the worldwide sustainable agriculture movement with the release of The One-Straw Revolution in 1975. Sowing Seeds in the Desert seems to build off of his introduction to his farming techniques, but is still easily accessible and understandable for those, such as myself, who have not read his previous works.
The book begins with some history to help the reader understand Fukuoka's life; his world, spiritual, political, and..more
At first, I was disappointed by the lack of detail when it came to Fukuoka's plans to reverse desertification. But then I recalled Larry Korn's words in the book's introduction: 'Mr. Fukuoka told us over and over that the philosophy was everything, and the farming was merely an example of the philosophy' (xxi).
This book deals quite heavily with Fukuoka's philosophy. His statements are entwined with a few anecdotes that--in my mind--often a have loose connection with what he is trying to say. To..more

This book was okay, but my expectations were probably too high. I was hoping for more of the practical 'hands on' explanation of natural farming and less of the zen, one-with-the-earth philosophy, which was the bulk of the book, and felt unnecessary.
I enjoyed the author's personal experiences with his farm in Japan as well as his integrated, non-tilling, multi-species seeding recommendations for healing damaged soil. That was helpful. I think he could have gone further with the inclusion of anim..more

The Best like always, of course a farmer of 50+ years that spent his life making more food for less and less efforts and materials is a genius, no wonder he is the ghandi of farming. Fukuoka used the same techniques he gathered and connected together to farm his farm in aim to reforest the deserts of these world without any mentioned efforts.

'I spent many years of my youth foolishly searching for something I 'should' have been doing. Instead, I should have entrusted everything to the flowers blooming in the meadow. Even if people do nothing at all, the grasses and trees and the songbirds will live on.'

Fukuoka is a farmer and a philosopher so it wasn't a surprise to me that much of this book early on was very philosophically based. One doesn't have to be a farmer, however, to find his teachings, views, and experiences beneficial. This book was especially a good overview of Fukuoka's travels and research - setting the stage of his life's work - rehabilitating our poor environmental conditions and reclaiming global food security through natural farming methods.
This was his final book, but it se..more
This book was a great introduction for me to Fukuoka's ideas & natural farming. It was a bit light on the details of natural farming, instead giving a more overview of how he came to his technique, his philosophy, his thoughts on the agriculture business and his efforts to help revegetate the deserts of the world. Before I read this I just thought deserts were an inevitable consequence of climate & geography, however after reading Fukuoka's thoughts, I kind of see this possibility of hav..more
I'm only a third of the way through this book but I just love it so much, it really speaks to me. I don't know if I read parts of Fukoakas philosophy in Mollison's work, but Ive had this thing in my mind saying 'let the plants do the work' for everything whether its wind breaks, heating, food, whatever, they want to grow, want to live, we just have to let them. Im interested in his semi-wild farming as well as low energy,abundant, in harmony with nature its definitely something I want to aspire..more
A beautiful and practical guide to the future healing of the world and providing abundance for us all. Fukuoka describes a harmonious method of agriculture that gives more food and nutrition with less work and gas than traditional agribusiness farming methods. His methods replenish the soil and environment while nourishing our bodies and souls.
I was inspired by this book - a complete surprise, and now I will read One Straw Revolution. The first couple of chapters especially, as I was ready for the inspiration of how to just 'be' in the natural world.

As 'The One Straw Revolution' changed my life about 15 years ago, so does this continuation of his story of natural farming and living.
I can find no fault with anything he says and most of the practices he advocates. We should all think and live so naturally, so abundantly, so connected. Cay Khong Khi
Irrigation, dams and canals cannot solve the problem of expanding deserts. Only natural farming brings together the need for food production and the regeneration of green areas which together create an environment in which water is not only conserved but created.

An inspiring idea regarding combating desertification, and also a great story that makes you feel like you know Mr. Fukuoka personally.

Masanobu Fukuoka was born in 1914 in a small farming village on the island of Shikoku in Southern Japan. He was educated in microbiology and worked as a soil scientist specializing in plant pathology, but at the age of twenty-five he began to have doubts about the 'wonders of modern agriculture science.'

“In nature's cyclical rhythms, there are no grounds for the discriminatory view that underlies Darwin's view of superiority and inferiority that deems single-celled organisms as lower, and more complicated life forms as higher. It would be more appropriate to say we are all one continuous life-form.”
“Nature is one body. We can say that while human beings and insects are part of nature, they also represent nature as a whole. And if that is so, when we harm plants, microorganisms, and insects through large-scale conventional agriculture, we are harming humanity as well.”
