The correct answer is A. Masanobu Fukuoka.
Masanobu Fukuoka was a Japanese farmer, philosopher, and writer. He is best known for his book “The One Straw Revolution”, which advocates a natural approach to farming that minimizes the use of pesticides, fertilizers, and machinery.
Fukuoka’s philosophy is based on the idea that nature is self-regulating and that humans should work with nature, rather than against it. He believed that the use of modern agricultural techniques, such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides, disrupts the natural balance of ecosystems and leads to the decline of soil fertility.
Fukuoka’s methods of farming have been adopted by farmers around the world, and he is considered to be one of the pioneers of the organic farming movement.
