Modern natural farming

Everything I've learned about Natural farming since Masanobu Fukuoka's farm was reverted from the flourishing state as it was described in The One Straw Revolution. Well, everything I've learned that I've bothered to type up.

If you're interested in learning about what's become of natural farming and have specific questions, feel free to email me at hey+naturalfarming [at] jackzezula [dot] com.

Pages of note in my digital garden include:

• Natural farming, my introduction to the topic
• Kawaguchi's natural farming, the most popular and vocal form of natural farming in Japan as of 2026
• Larry Korn interview with Paul Wheaton, a very helpful summary of Fukuoka as told through his main English spokesperson, Larry Korn
• Veganic gardening, about Helen Attowhe's amazing life work adapting Fukuoka's farming to north-western America
• My notes on Fukuoka's major texts:
  • The One Straw Revolution, the story of how Fukuoka first produced his amazing example of natural farming
  • Sowing Seeds in the Desert, how Fukuoka thinks natural farming can be used to save the world from ongoing desertification (and ensuing starvation)
  • Natural Way of Farming, the book containing the most practical and specific information Fukuoka left behind

Things I am yet to read

• Techno humus systems and global-change conservation agriculture
• Soil, forest life, management

Candidate farms that I am yet to contact include:

• Azienda farm near Turin, Italy. A 7500 acre farm that was practicing natural farming on a large scale when Fukuoka wrote Natural Way.
• Prairie Erth who I believe was founded by Dave Bishop who used One Straw Revolution to change his large-scale corn farming
