Why?

These are the main issues that I hope to consider in more detail over the course of this blog. I will try to revisit these subjects many times as I widen my understanding;

• crop      yields
• nutritional      value of food
• soil      quality
• biodiversity

I also hope to explore the possibility of a food production system with

• NO      genetic modification
• NO      chemicals
• NO      artificial fertilisers
• much      REDUCED waste
• much      REDUCED carbon emissions and
• much      REDUCED use of fossil fuels?

And other related issues such as

• local      food production
• rural      re population
• rural      employment
• resilience      to climate and economic changes
• skills/training/research      and
• the appropriate      use of modern technology?
