Agriculture "The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt"
Agriculture is the primary historical transformer of our global environment. The central role of agriculture in the lives of the majority of the world’s peoples cannot be underestimated. Changing our current energy-intensive agricultural systems to more sustainable forms that draw upon old and new understandings of agroecology, among other things, offers great hope to help resolve interrelated crises of food security, climate change, and environmental degradation. At Action 2030 we are actively promoting discussion amongst a wide range of actors interested in agriculture’s future to help create innovative policy solutions. Action 2030 is organizing just such a conversation in China: the International Workshop on Sustainable Food and Agriculture. If you wish to receive information and updates on this event please join our Sustainable Food and Agriculture Mailing List. Related Briefs: Action 2030 Field Notes: "Excerpts from a Food, Inc. Panel Discussion," Fall 2009.
