If you are like us, on a quest for knowledge about sustainable design systems……..
HAD ENOUGH?
We’re talking about the rubbish popularised by chemical companies that rice production is chemical dependent – 10,000 Japanese rice growers have proved otherwise.
This book is written by a farmer for farmers - a complete guide to integrated duck and rice farming. Takao Furuno, a Japanese rice farmer has been producing sustainable, profitable organic rice for the last ten years. Abundantly illustrated, tabled and photographed, this book serves as a text-book for case studies and farmer-evolved natural systems.
“Farmers have increased their yield by 20 to 50 per cent or more in the first year….”
Mae-Wan Ho, Open University, Milton Keyes, U.K.
“By using human imagination and ingenuity, and by co-operating with nature rather than re-engineering it, Takao Furuno has cleared yet another path for a safe, diverse and sustainable agricultural future. So who needs transgenic crops?”
from Soil and Health, February 2000, pp 36 – 37
