One of the most inspiring books I read while working on Diet for a Hot Planet
was Masanobu Fukuoka’s classic The One-Straw Revolution.
I had been hearing about the book for ages from farmer friends who were influenced by it and I was mesmerized by page one. It’s part-practical farming advice, part-musing on the meaning of meaning of life.
So imagine my surprise to find a mention of the just-published new edition (with a foreword by my mom) in The Financial Times. Feels about as likely as Lady Gaga praising L.L. Bean footwear!
