Masanobu Fukuoka (1913 to 2008) was a Japanese farmer and philosopher celebrated for his work in natural farming and the re-vegetation of desertified land. A proponent of no-till, herbicide- and pesticide-free cultivation, he developed a distinct method of agriculture commonly called natural farming or do-nothing farming, and wrote several books and scientific papers that carried his influence beyond farming into the natural food and lifestyle movements.
