good video
it shows how there is no real shortage of land or labour to produce food – just a lack of will and organisation to do so.

Thanks, Bon. It’s very interesting – wish we could all take a leaf out of their book!

seriously though, Cuba was forced into it due to a premature oil crisis. That doesn’t mean that we can’t plan such a change, but it is more likely such a crisis may be necessary to provide the incentive.

I think that we have a crisis – climate change. It’s a slow process comparatively speaking, and as such may not be the desired incentive.

Our own oil crisis isn’t all that far off.
