We hear more and more these days that in order to feed the world’s growing population we need more of what industrial agriculture dishes up – chemicals, GMOs and so on. Here’s a neat little film that suggests there may be some holes in the arguments put forward by Do we really need industrial agriculture to feed the world?

And while pfaffing around collecting the links for this film I found this little heart warmer:

No doubt there are plenty of Australian farmers like the Nelsons. It would be great to tell their stories. If anyone knows of any little films like the one about the Nelsons but about Australian, or even better New England farmers, please drop me a line at s o u t h r t at gmail dot com. Of course, you will need to reconstitute the email address by removing the spaces and replacing the obvious.
Cheers.
