Takao Furuno, author of 'The One Duck Revolution' and 'The Power of Duck'

I've recently read Tagari Publications-published 'The Power of Duck' and the author-published 'The One Duck Revolution'.

Both are by Takao Furuno, and both are about integrating ducks and rice culture, and about expanding this integration to include azolla and loaches (the fish). Dr. Furuno has trialed these approaches extensively.

'The Power of Duck' is fun to read; 'The One Duck Revolution' is a bit more academic.

'The Power of Duck' has detailed instructions with timing and amounts used.

I'd love to learn what Dr. Furuno thinks of seed ball sowing of rice.

Do others agree that Dr. Takao Furuno is a permaculture artisan?

Thanks for the links and info Brian. I was unaware of Dr. Furuno until now, but I have seen the benefits of raising Muscovy ducks and integrating them in a design:

These quacking phosphorus factories helped me produce a lot of value on our .42acre first property. I do not think we would be debt free with 25acres without our ducks’ help. The buyer of our old place even adopted them when we moved off grid to a mountainous spot less suited for ducks Up here we get even more predator pressure and their viable in ground pond sites would all be above our water source spring. We could do lined or above ground basins for muscovies, but we have watch our water use more now off grid so we raise only chickens. I miss their quirky quacking circular marching.

I greatly enjoyed "The Power of Duck" when I got it from the library a few years ago. I haven't read the other one though.
