“Dear friends, I am Krishna McKenzie and I started and run Solitude Farm in Auroville, Tamil, Nadu, India. Since 18 years, I have been deeply inspired by Fukuokasan and have worked with intensity at manifesting his vision since i met him some 8 years ago. Here is our latest video about non-tillage direct sown rice cultivation as per our climate, topography, crops, etc. Hope you like it. Yours, Krishna”

Krishna published this video on Fukuoka Farming mailing list. Masanobu Fukuoka believed in non-tillage farming. His approach let the plants themselves control weeds and produce natural fertilizer. In this way, the soil does not need to be tilled by the farmer. Rather, it takes care of itself because of the way the farmer plants particular plants. Krishna's video describes his implementation of the Fukuoka Method. 

 

Masanobu Fukuoka published a book describing his farming method called "The One Straw Revolution".
