Remembering Geheimrat, Professor, Doctor of Philosophy, Friedrich Wilhelm August Karl Falke
This document remembers the life and accomplishment of Friedrich Wilhelm August Karl Falke, the founder of the International Grassland Congress. Falke had global impact on stimulating awareness of the importance of our grasslands for food security for an ever-increasing population. He created an international forum where results of scientific study, observations and experiences could be exchanged and ideas and solutions to commonly recognized but unsolved problems could be generated.
