Masanobu Fukuoka - influenced Buddhism with his talks and teaching in farming Masanobu Fukuoka was a Japanese buddhist 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".

The method of no-tilling, no-weeding and no pesticides and fertilizer is based on Japanese research farmer Masanobu Fukuoka's book One Straw Revolution.

Masanobu Fukuoka “When it is understood that one loses joy and happiness in the attempt to possess them, the essence of natural farming will be realized. The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.” ― Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution
