Past event
Aug 20, 2015

9:00 - 10:00 am
What array of farming methods can be used to feed a growing population on the planet sustainably? Researcher Catherine Badgley argues that organic farming, together with reducing food waste and prioritizing food for people over fuel and animal feed, comprise part of the answer. Agricultural consultant Steve Savage says chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and other tools prohibited by organic rules need to be part of the picture.

10:00 - 10:30 am
Resilience Thoughts, Bucky Buckaw's Backyard Chicken Broadcast, plus upcoming events related to energy, food, and the local economy at the end of the age of oil.
