- Conforms to taste, self indulgent.
- Limiting foods that are deemed “unhealthy” by a religion or philosophy.
- Farming to produce foods to turn a profit, not to just provide for people. Typically uses a lot of chemicals and unnatural farming methods.
- This is one of the main plants that Fukuoka grows. Especially in Japan, he emphasizes growing this because it is usually imported from the US and high in calories.
- No Cultivation, No Chemical Fertilizers or Prepared Compost, No Weeding by Tillage or Herbicides, No Dependence on Chemicals
- One of the Four Principles of Natural Farming. The plow is not essential for farming. Fields are actually naturally cultivated by plant roots, microorganisms, small animals, and earthworms.
- Fukuoka’s initial approach to farming. He thought that crops can grow themselves and should not have to be grown. He soon realized that this is just abandonment.
- The organic component of soil, formed by the decomposition of leaves and other plant material by soil microorganisms
- A natural farming alternative to tilling the soil. Seeds are combined with clay and organic material like compost.

- One of the Four Principles of Natural Farming. While harmful insects are always present, they can cause minimal damage with sturdy crops and a healthy environment.
