India: Farmer's drumstick beats drought

BBC South Asia has this inspiring article about a farmer in the indian state of Maharashtra. This gentleman has succesfully cultivated drumsticks in his drought-prone village.

As if thats not enough he, in an effort to share his knowledge with other farmers, has authored a book called "Shevga Lagvad - Tantra ani Mantra" (which means the how-to of drumstick cultivation). He has also started a website called Drumsticks India to share this with farmers far-off.
