Professor Louise Fresco, agronomist, has one of the more interesting presentations that I've seen on TED.
She's asking us to take a more critical look at what might be our preconceived notions of agricultural production and the idea of what we may think is industrial farming. Those of us that talk about the need for “sustainable” agriculture frequently equate it with small-scale family farms.
Fresco is asking us to consider the reality of global food production and what it actually means. After all, food production affects all of us, rich and poor, urban and rural, especially with a human population that is expected to increase by at least another 2 billion within the next fifty years.
