Food for the future: Agriculture in a sustainable world
This video on agriculture in a sustainable world is part of the UN Research Institute for Sustainable Development project "Social Dimensions of Green Economy and Sustainable Development." See the website here: http://www.unrisd.org/greeneconomy
What's behind rising food prices?
The NDP government has blocked a move to develop lands designated as agricultural in King's County. The reasons given were in the technical language of zoning regulations. But this is no mere local question.
Rising food prices and increasing trouble in the whole vast reality to which food is central is now one of the world's biggest problems -- a "silent tsunami" as The Economist magazine called it -- a part of the larger issue of climate change and resource depletion.
