Leaving a career as a plant pathologist, the author took over the family farm in Japan consisting of rice fields and a mandarin orchard, where he developed and practiced pioneering methods of permaculture well before the term itself was coined. His account of his Zen-inspired way of sustainable agriculture has become a classic in the literature of permaculture.
Un libro que combina propuestas concretas sobre agricultura junto con perspectivas filosóficas de cómo vivir una buena vida.
Las secciones del libro no tienen necesariamente un hilo conductor pero dejan muy en claro las posturas del autor con respecto a la agricultura y la vida sencilla.
Hoy día resuena tanto esta noción de regresar a lo esencial y dejar a la naturaleza descansar de tanto derroche de energías.
