Agriculture Quote by Masanobu Fukuoka

“Why do you have to develop? If economic growth rises from 5% to 10%, is happiness going to double? What's wrong with a growth rate of 0%? Isn't this a rather stable kind of economics? Could there be anything better than living simply and taking it easy?” quote by Masanobu Fukuoka — Download Open image
