Wendell Berry
“ It is possible, I think, to say that... a Christian agriculture [is] formed upon the understanding that it is sinful for people to misuse or destroy what they did not make. The Creation is a unique, irreplaceable gift, therefore to be used with humility, respect, and skill. ”
― Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture

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
