- Cover Crops in Hillside Agriculture
, by Daniel Buckles, Bernard Triomphe, and Gustavo Sain (Online Book)
-
Farmer Innovation with Mucuna "the magic bean". This book provides a comprehensive evaluation of the use of velvetbean
as a cover crop on the hillsides on northern Honduras. It sheds light on the opportunities and constraints presented
by cover crops in the humid tropics and, perhaps most importantly, tells a story of successful farmer innovation.
- The Natural Way of Farming, by Masanobu
Fukuoka (Book)
- In Japan there is a farmer by the name of Masanobu Fukuoka who practices what he calls the "no-plowing,
no-fertilizing, no-weeding, no-pesticides, do-nothing method of natural farming". To him the idea that people can grow
crops is ego-centric. Ultimately it is nature that grows crops. He sees modern agriculture as doing-this and doing-that
to grow crops, but it is meaningless work. With his do-nothing method he is able to get yields in his rice
fields that are equal to the highest yields attained with chemical, do-something agriculture.
