Hear Soil Association director Patrick Holden interviewed about Peak Oil and the Transition Towns concept...
Jan 26, 2007
Focus: Environment
Action Request: Various
Location: United States
The Soil Association conference, One Planet Agriculture, is the first Soil Association conference ever to sell out in advance! So it would appear that its theme of peak oil and the re-localisation of food production has really hit a chord.

The Soil Association just posted a podcast and interview with Soil Association director, Patrick Holden, where he talks about the potential impacts of peak oil, the role of organic food and farming, and the transition towns concept. In the podcast he also responds to recent comments by the secretary of state for environment, David Miliband, on organic food.
