Film: A Farm for the Future

A chance to see wildlife filmmaker Rebecca Hosking’s investigation in to sustainable agriculture 18:00-19:00 Room 2

Last broadcast on TV Sat, 4 Apr 2009, 17:20 on BBC Two
SYNOPSIS
Wildlife film maker Rebecca Hosking investigates how to transform her family’s farm in Devon into a low energy farm for the future, and discovers that nature holds the key.
With her father close to retirement, Rebecca returns to her family’s wildlife-friendly farm in Devon, to become the next generation to farm the land. But last year’s high fuel prices were a wake-up call for Rebecca. Realising that all food production in the UK is completely dependent on abundant cheap fossil fuel, particularly oil, she sets out to discover just how secure this oil supply is.
Alarmed by the answers, she explores ways of farming without using fossil fuel. With the help of pioneering farmers and growers, Rebecca learns that it is actually nature that holds the key to farming in a low-energy future.

Watching again recently Rebecca Hosking’s excellent BBC documentary “A Farm For the Future” drew me back again to the one haunting image that stayed with me for many months after i watched this documentary last year.

Blog - Overview

In this occasional blog I will be passing on information about the organisation of the event as well as give some background to the themes which the day is about. The event will be one (so far fairly rare) opportunity for us to tackle these issues from the ground up as a community, mainly through sharing and learning together. We will have a chance to be exposed to some of the foremost thinkers and doers in the field of climate change, peak oil and the future of our planet. Let's make good use of their contributions and offerings.
