Dobar Dan,

This is slightly off subject, but perhaps someone reading this can help with
more details, as there is some overlap between biodynamics and permaculture:

In 2006 I attended a workshop on biodynamic farming and the presenter
mentioned repeatedly that when you look at a special map of Hiroshima and the
surrounding region after the bomb was dropped, you can see radioactive areas
everywhere except for one or two farms that were practicing biodynamic
farming.


Does this ring a bell with anybody?

And I would definitely visit Fukuoka's place. The last I heard his son was
continuing operations organically, though not necessarily using Masanobu's
natural farming approach. I would be interested in an update.

Also, look into Kiyokazu Shitara and The Permaculture Centre in Japan near
Fujino, Kanagawa.

Subject: [permaculture] Permaculture in Japan? (making the most of my time
here)

Hi everyone!

I am currently based in Japan (I usually live in Sarajevo,
Bosnia-Herzegovina), close to Hiroshima city, doing a Japanese
government-sponsored training programme on "developing sustainable tourism
through community based approach". It started on Aug 18 and lasts until Nov
1. (Btw, program is great, organised really well.)

It is quite busy, but weekends and afternoons are mostly free. So I was
wondering if you have any suggestions for me, in terms of visiting places or
meeting people who are doing things in permaculture and related fields. I
have started gaining info on Fukuoka Farming, as I know it was developed on
an island relatively near to here. Also, I imagine Japanese experiences in
efficient architecture, engineering and and other aspects of
sustainable/responsible living are very interesting. I will continue
searching of course, but if you have any ideas or contacts for me in the
meanwhile, I will appreciate that greatly.

As for me and permaculture generally, I am still quite new in this (and very
excited about it!:)). I am involved in several NGOs and businesses in BiH,
trying to give my part in bringing positive change. If any members are
interested, I am happy to talk more about it! :))


Thanks a lot and best to all!

Amir

The only thing I can mention is that the right plants can soak up the
radioactive contamination.? I just hope that that produce wasn't sold. At
Chernobyl large fields of sunflowers were planted. The resulting crops were
ground up, embedded in glass and removed. That eliminated a large percentage
of the radiation in the soil.
