I
have just discovered this wonderful 2009 BBC documentary that
discusses Peak Oil and permaculture and other responses to the
problem of feeding Britain in a post-petroleum era.
A
Farm For The Future
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.
Rebecca, thanks you so much for choosing a sustainable scheme! Keeping our nature more sustainable and manageable for a long time we should choose more fruitful thoughts like it. The best part of it that it also provides the fresh energy. Best wishes for your wildlife farm.
