Remembering Fukuoka's Pune visit

oka19 August 2008

We are very sad to report that one of the most influential
personalities in making us aware of issues of Sustainability,
Environment, Nature and Humane living - Masanobu Fukuoka passed away
at the age of 95 at his home on 16 August 2008.

Parisar was fortunate in getting the opportunity of not only
publishing his landmark book "The One Straw Revolution" in Marathi but
also hosting Fukuoka San's Lecture at Sneha Sadan in Pune.

We pay our respects to this great man by enclosing some links to his
work and to articles on him. Also do visit the Parisar site:
