Whoa! Some say being vegan was a big enough trip and that Veganic Agriculture was for the hard core. Yet there's more below the surface, like an iceberg. Then as the heart warms there is only the ocean. Oops! sounds a lot like global warming.

Just to clarify, that foraging, although not agriculture though could be an ascetic move, is not in itself ascetic when it is a means of survival.

Ascetic Agriculture
Is the cultivation of food minimally as the whole idea of being a consumer is anti spirit. The notion that death is to be avoided by consumption is the bane of intellect.

Some have embraced veganism being uncomfortable exploiting and consuming dumb animals, but it's ok to consume even dumber plants?The asceticmay practice veganism or fruitarianism but the focus is not on the quality of the food nor the consequence of it's production on the greater environment but that the idea of eating denigrates the notion that life is eternal and cannot be maintained by consumption.

For more than twelve years the Venerable Ascetic Mahivira neglected his body and abandoned the care of it; he with equanimity bore, underwent, and suffered all pleasant or unpleasant occurrences arising from divine powers, men, or animals.

Fukuoka called his agricultural philosophy shizen nōhō (自然農法), most commonly translated into English as "natural farming" . . . also referred to as "the Fukuoka Method", "the natural way of farming" or "Do-Nothing Farming".

The system is based on the recognition of the complexity of living organisms that shape an ecosystem and deliberately exploiting it. Fukuoka saw farming not just as a means of producing food but as an aesthetic and spiritual approach to life, . . . the ultimate goal of which was "the cultivation and perfection of human beings".

The alternative is to eat until you die, as that will be the end of life and the pleasure of consumption, using:

• Subsistence living so often touted by industry as describing those that get by, by scratching out a living directly from the land, a sort of desperate use of agriculture where the practitioner is just about hanging on, by the skin of their teeth.
• Common Farming (organic or not) Just for money and to feed those that are unwillingly or wantonly without land
• Permaculture The industrious use of land with well devised plans of aesthetic exploitation in harmony with the local environment.
