Farmers of Forty Centuries : Organic Farming in China, Korea, and Japan

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In the early 20th century, an American agricultural expert traveled to Asia to learn how farmers there were able to work the same fields for thousands of years without destroying the land's fertility. This landmark work was the result of that undertaking. Professor King provides intriguing glimpses of Japan, China, Manchuria, and Korea, with information about the customs of the common people; utilization of waste; methods of irrigation, reforestation, and land reclamation; and the cultivation of rice, silk, and tea. An invaluable, profusely illustrated resource for organic gardeners, farmers, and conservationists.
