Global food production faces four simultaneous crises arising from our relatively recent pattern of dependence on depleting fossil fuels.  The first consists of the direct impacts on agriculture of higher oil prices: increased costs for tractor fuel, agricultural chemicals, and the transport of farm inputs and outputs. The second is a consequence of high oil prices—increased demand for biofuels, resulting in farmland being turned from food production to fuel production. The third consists of climate change and extreme weather events caused by fuel-based greenhouse gas emissions. Finally comes the degradation or loss of basic natural resources (principally, topsoil and fresh water supplies) as a result of high rates, and unsustainable methods, of production stimulated by decades of cheap energy. Each of these crises is developing at a somewhat different pace regionally. As these crises grow and mutually interact, the consequences for humanity and the biosphere are likely to be profound and unprecedented in scope. The primary solution to each and all is a planned rapid reduction in fossil fuel consumption by society, though this presents economic and technical challenges of its own. http://www.soilassociation.org/web/SA/saweb.nsf/(UNID)/42486E102B1BF2078025739C004E2F5E/$file/1002.MP3 Thursday, 22 Nov 2007 19:20:00 GMT no 57:22 Richard Heinberg Soil Association organic peak oil climate change transition agriculture fossil fuels greenhouse emissions natural resources sustainable Soil Association Abi Weeds from Essential Care talking about the growth of the organic health and beauty market Abi Weeds from Essential Care talking about the growth of the organic health and beauty market http://www.soilassociation.org/web/SA/saweb.nsf/(UNID)/FBDF1387C60C342E80257383002F17DA/$file/abi_weeds.mp3 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 09:00:00 GMT no 24:02 Abi Weeds, Essential Care, organic, Soil Association, health, beauty, environment, natural, shampoo, skin care Soil Association Iain Tolhust of Tolhurst Organic Produce talks to the Soil Association about the benefits of organic box schemes and his recent experiences Iain Tolhust of Tolhurst Organic Produce talks to the Soil Association about the benefits of organic box schemes and his recent experiences http://www.soilassociation.org/Web/SA/saweb.nsf/(UNID)/04AD2FE230E1AE828025734B00431903/$file/box_schemes.mp3 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 11:00:00 GMT no 9:25 box scheme, food, organic, Soil Association, Tolhurst, vegetables, produce, environment, climate, planet-friendly, local, biodiversity Soil Association An interview with Richard Young, policy advisor on antibiotics, on the Soil Association's latest report 'MRSA in farm animals and meat' An interview with Richard Young, policy advisor on antibiotics, on the Soil Association's latest report 'MRSA in farm animals and meat' http://www.soilassociation.org/Web/SA/saweb.nsf/(UNID)/16CB46244ED73E8E8025732800573FDE/$file/antibiotics.mp3 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 17:00:00 GMT no 15:57 antibiotics, MRSA, livestock, pigs, poultry, dairy cattle, Staphylococcus aureus, hospital, superbug Soil Association Elisabeth Winkler visits Bordeaux Quay on Bristol's Harbourside and meets its chef-restaurateur, Barny Haughton, to ask him about his life, his food philosophy and what drives him.
