So there was always going to be a tension within that.

200 years ago, there were 6 feet of topsoil on the American prairies.

African agriculture today is among, or is, the most under capitalized in the world.

Take this representation of all of the land.

You go plough those two plots by the Red Gully.

For three hundred years they have farmed the surrounding land.

First off, he's in a diesel run tractor.

Well, uh, no plowing.

I till the earth.

How are going to double global ag production around the world?

In short, we're really moving forward to the past.

The key point is no plowing.

Nell is interested in agricultural processes, and her work is based in these practices.

Agriculture is defined as the cultivation of soil for growing crops.

Koji's?

Well, we could try to farm more land.

Farmers cultivate the soil.

Meet Koji's girlfriend.

Sand stopping devices, made from sand.

And not only that, we've used our imagination to thoroughly trash this globe.

More than 40 of Earth's land has been cleared for agriculture.

Mr. Koji Honda?

I'm worried he might shake me off.

This is Nell Remmel.

No plowing?

We don't plow the soil surface.

Just following. That sort of method.

We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, and not a gem, nor any coal or iron.

So he moved back to the farm, and, long story short, they now have seven acres under cultivation.

And to do that, you really have to look first at agriculture.

Whoever desires the fruits of the Hereafter, We shall add to his fruit. As for him who desires the fruits of this world, We shall give to him of these, but he will have no share in the Hereafter.

Whoever aspires for the yield of the Hereafter We increase its yield for him and whoever aspires for the yield of this world We give him part of it, and he has no portion in the Hereafter.

Whoso desires the tillage of the world to come, We shall give him increase in his tillage and whoso desires the tillage of this world, We shall give him of it, but in the world to come he will have no share.

Whosoever seeketh the tillage of the Hereafter Unto him We shall give increase in his tillage and whosoever seeketh the tillage of the world We shall give him somewhat thereof, and in the Hereafter his shall be no portion.

Whosoever desires (with his deeds) the reward of the Hereafter, We give him increase in his reward, and whosoever desires the reward of this world (with his deeds), We give him thereof (what is written for him), and he has no portion in the Hereafter.

Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We increase for him his harvest and whoever desires the harvest of this world, We give him thereof, and he has no share of the Hereafter.

Whoever seeks the harvest of the Hereafter, We shall increase for him his harvest, and whoever seeks the harvest of this world, We shall give him thereof but he will have no share in the Hereafter.

Whoso desireth the harvest of the Hereafter, We give him increase in its harvest. And whoso desireth the harvest of the world, We give him thereof, and he hath no portion in the Hereafter.

Whoever desires the tillage of the Hereafter, We will enhance for him his tillage, and whoever desires the tillage of the world, We will give it to him, but he will have no share in the Hereafter.

Whoever hopes for the tillage of the Everlasting Life, We will increase his tillage and whoever hopes for the tillage of this world, We give him some of it, but in the Everlasting Life he shall have no share.

Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter We increase for him in his harvest. And whoever desires the harvest of this world We give him thereof, but there is not for him in the Hereafter any share.

We shall increase the harvest of those who seek a good harvest in the life hereafter. However, those who want to have their harvest in this life will be given it but will have no share in the hereafter.

Whoever desires the gain of the hereafter, We will give him more of that gain and whoever desires the gain of this world, We give him of it, and in the hereafter he has no portion.

To him who desires a harvest in the life to come, We shall grant an increase in his harvest whereas to him who desires but a harvest in this world, We may give something thereof but he will have no share in the blessings of the life to come.

To any that desires the tilth of the Hereafter, We give increase in his tilth, and to any that desires the tilth of this world, We grant somewhat thereof, but he has no share or lot in the Hereafter.
