On Sunday we were informed of the passing of someone very dear, Mario Levy, a man of vision, action and inspiration.
Mario was the father of Israeli organic farming, the person who sowed the seeds of the thriving organic culture in Israel with persistence, diligence and faith. He dared to dream despite the ridicule he endured, and meticulously fulfilled his ambition with accuracy, depth, knowledge and modesty.
Mario died at 94, on the Sabbath, at home on his kibbutz Sde Eliyahu in the Beit Shean Valley, where his lovingly-nurtured organic garden hosted, taught and inspired so many people.
