Chemical-Free Agriculture Saves the World
Akinori Kimura succeeded in apple cultivation without fertilizers in Hirosaki, Japan, decades ago. He had spent a decade of hard working and great efforts till his success while it was commonsense that apple cultivation needed much fertilizer and insecticide. He also found the way of growing other fruits and crops without using nitrogen fertilizer and insecticides. His chemical-free apples taste so well that they are welcomed by consumers.It is revolutionary because it was said that apples could not be grown without agricultural chemicals. Kimura became so famous that he was invited to many farmer groups and agricultural cooperatives to tell them his method of agriculture without agricultural chemicals. Even Yoko Ono read his book and so impressed that in vain she tried to publish an English version of Kimura's book in the United States. Kimura became a busy man traveling the world to diffuse his agricultural method.
Kimura's method without nitrogen fertilizers is important because global warming can be attributed to nitrous acid nitrogen in fertilizers more than CO2. Nitrous acid nitrogen in fertilizers has about 300-times more effect on global warming than CO2. His method can save the world from abnormal weather.
However agriculture without agricultural chemicals should cause big financial damage to fertilizer companies. So, it is no wonder that a big American chemical company tried to prevent Kimura from diffusing his method to Japan and the world. It is said that the president of a certain American chemical company came to Japan to meet Kimura. He offered some hundreds billion dollars on conditions that Kimura would come to the U.S. for an award ceremony. But Kimra declined the offer; he did not sell his method to the big American chemical company. The President said to Kimuea, "Are you a fool?" Kimura replied "As I am a fool, I don't need money."
Indeed, Yoko Ono whose plan to issue an English version of Kimura's book had been hindered by the big American chemical company called Kimura by phone, saying that Kimura should not come to the U.S. since he might be killed.
After the meeting with the president, Kimura was intimated by some foreigners in Tokyo; they said to him holding his arms, "We know the names of your family members." But, Kimura stuck fast to his behaviors and ideas to diffuse agriculture without agricultural chemicals.
Indeed, the world agriculture is supported by agricultural chemicals. Although the CO2 emission amount per year is about more than a billion tons, nitrogen wastes is about six million tons. But, the effect of nitrous acid nitrogen is about 300 times larger than CO2. So, to stop the global warming we have to stop use of agricultural chemicals.
In other words, our foods from agriculture with agricultural chemicals are the main cause of the global warming in addition to fossil chemicals.
Akinori Kimura deserves the Nobel award more than billions or more dollars from an American chemical company.

Luke 12, King James Version
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
