Pioneering organic farmer Masanobu Fukuoka, author of The One-Straw Revolution, developed his methods here on his family's farm.

This technique has been famously used by Sepp Holzer, Toby Hemenway, and Masanobu Fukuoka.

Other early influences include Ruth Stout and Esther Deans, who pioneered " no-dig gardening methods ", and Masanobu Fukuoka who, in the late 1930s in Japan, began advocating no-till orchards, gardens and natural farming.

Masanobu Fukuoka as part of his early experiments on his family farm in Japan experimented with no-pruning methods, noting that he ended up killing many fruit trees by simply letting them go which resulted in convoluted and tangled, and thus unhealthy, branch patterns.

Masanobu Fukuoka started his pioneering research work in this domain in 1938, and began publishing in the 1970s his Fukuokan philosophy of " Do Nothing Farming ", which is now acknowledged by some as the tap root of the Permaculture movement.
