“The one-straw revolution” is a philosophical book written by the Japanese MasanobuFukuoka who explains why he refused a conventional career as a microbiological scientist and why he decided to set a life that looks like a utopia, far from modern society.
Inspired by the Taoist and Zen philosophies, he applied their principles to farming. In his book, Masanobu Fukuoka explains the “do nothing” or “natural farming” method that he developed and exposes his views on modern society, its inconsistencies and excess.
