One of the notable endeavours in advocating for sustainable agriculture has been publishing a Marathi translation of Masanobu Fukuoka's classic "The One Straw Revolution". We also feel blessed to have been able to organize a talk by Mr Fukuoka himself in Pune.
Participants ranged from those with little experience in traditional farming methods but greatly influenced by Mr Fukuoka’s writing, to hard core farmers who were beginning to see the truth of Mr Fukuoka’s assertion that for long term sustainability, the present path of “modern mechanized” farming had no future, and if agriculture was to sustain and enhance the productivity of the farm and its natural resources, there was no alternative to adopting the path of natural farming. Outstanding presentations were made by many practitioners of organic or natural farming and participants decided to form an alliance of Organic Farmers and to meet periodically to share information and to learn from each other’s experiences.
Masanobu Fukuoka's method of natural farming, which is characterized by “Do Nothing Farming” - no tilling, no use of chemical fertilizers and no weeding, while embracing nature through agriculture. In addition, he received global praise for his method of preventing desertification by placing plant seeds in mud and creating seed balls during his many travels to various places around the world. He was an agricultural scientist and philosopher who exerted himself to preaching through many publications, song-verses, and drawings.
