Masanobu Fukuoka — Japanese Celebrity born on February 02, 1913, died on August 16, 2008

Masanobu Fukuoka was a Japanese farmer and philosopher celebrated for his natural farming and re-vegetation of desertified lands. He was a proponent of no-till, no-herbicide grain cultivation farming methods traditional to many indigenous cultures, from which he created a particular method of farming, commonly referred to as "Natural Farming" or "Do-nothing Farming"... (wikipedia)

Ignorance, hatred and greed are killing nature.
There is no time in modern agriculture for a farmer to write a poem or compose a song.
The simple hearth of the small farm is the true center of our universe.
As we kill nature, we are killing ourselves, and God incarnate as the world as well.
