ARNISSA

In March 1998, the Macedonian town of Arnissa assigned 50,000 acres of public land designated for development to a bold venture: the land was to be sown, using a method of planting the seeds in clay soil. This method was devised by an 86-year-old Japanese farmer, Masanobou Fukuoka, who actually came to Greece to share his experience and philosophy. Many volunteers participated in the sowing of the hills around Arnissa, and their effort continues to this day. In Arnissa, scenes from the events that took place alternate with excerpts from a discussion with Fukuoka.
