Book Review: One Straw Revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka

These are really quick notes made while reading the book 'One Straw Revolution'. This book was written by a Japanese farmer and highly recommend read.  It not only talks about natural farming, but also leading a simple way of life. Modern life and science has only found solution to the problem they have created. A person living in nature doesn't need schooling, he needs it only when he has moved far from nature. Similarly, modern farming has only found solution to the problem they have created. It is like this. A scientist read over thousands of journals and theory papers in his quest for inventions. And when he pause to find what is his quest it is 'inventing eyeglasses'. Every farm balances itself out. Insects and plants are automatically balanced.  Later in the book he also points out that crude oil is produced by plants being under high pressure of earth for millions of years and they turn into crude oil which are extracted, transported and processed.
