He spoke with special reference to the crops of Tuscanny and the related organic products like wine and grain. He is in India as part of a delegation participating in the recently concluded International Meet on 'Water'. Also he is going to present a manifesto on water in the forthcoming World Social Forum to be held on the 16th of January 2004 onwards in Mumbai.
