Download this episode ( 42 min )  
In Part One of this talk on 'Agrofuels, Food Security and Climate', Patrick Holden, Director of the Soil Association, talks about the current scenario in agriculture and how it is simply feeding high consumption in some parts of the world, while raising food prices, poverty and hunger in others. Citing practical examples, he explains how we can achieve an alternative vision for a return to more local economies and livelihoods in Britain, thereby reducing our dependency on fossil fuels.

A Gaia Foundation event held in association with Navdanya, Soil Association and Resurgence, Hampstead Town Hall, Belsize Park, London, Monday 17th March, 2008.
