As We Kill Nature, We

Many People Think That When We Practice Agriculture, Nature Is Helping Us In Our Efforts To Grow Food. This Is An Exclusively Human-centered Viewpoint... We Should Instead, Realize That We Are Receiving That Which Nature Decides To Give Us. A Farmer Does Not Grow Something In The Sense That He Or She Creates It. That Human Is Only A Small Part Of The Whole Process By Which Nature Expresses Its Being. The Farmer Has Very Little Influence Over That Process... Other Than Being There And Doing His Or Her Small Part.

By Raising Tall Trees For Windbreaks, Citrus Underneath, And A Green Manure Cover Down On The Surface, I Have Found A Way To Take It Easy And Let The Orchard Manage Itself!

The Final Principle Of Natural Farming Is No Pesticides. Nature Is In Perfect Balance When Left Alone.

People Should Relate To Nature As Birds Do. Birds Don't Run Around Carefully Preparing Fields, Planting Seeds, And Harvesting Food. They Don't Create Anything . . . They Just Receive What Is There For Them With A Humble And Grateful Heart.

Farming Is Not Just For Growing Crops, It Is For The Cultivation...o F Human Beings!
