Masanobu Fukuoka was a Japanese farmer who developed what many consider to be a revolutionary method of sustainable agriculture. He is also the author of "The One-Straw Revolution" and several other books examining both his philosophy and his method of farming.

This website is an outgrowth and extension of The Fukuoka Farming Mailing List. Both were created as a place where people interested in Fukuoka's method can network and share resources and experiences.

This is NOT a commercial website. It has no sponsors, no advertising, and sells nothing. It doesn't even claim that what Fukuoka says is valid or that his method works. What this site tries to do is to provide as much information about Fukuoka's thoughts and methods as possible, along with experiences people have had trying to use his method and follow his philosophy.

Masanobu Fukuoka died at the age of 95 on August 16, 2008 at his home in Iyo, Ehime Prefecture, Japan.

On this website the terms agriculture, farming, and gardening are considered to be synonymous and interchangeable, differentiated only by the size of implementation.
