Nearly all the elements making up our human flesh and bones spring from the crops that farmers harvest. How nine billion people get enough of those elements from the Earth’s thin, fragile covering of soil will largely determine how well the rest of the planet’s animals may fare in the years ahead. Glover discusses a range of revolutionary farming systems from small scale urban production to large scale intensive agriculture and explores the challenges of farming on an increasingly hot, crowded and resource strapped planet.
What happens when the soil that provides our food has nothing left to give? In this enlightening presentation, Glover takes us on a journey from the birth and flowering of agriculture through a global snapshot of today’s stressed agricultural ecosystems and decreasing crop yields, and then looks into the not-too-distant future when our finite and depleted soil simply will be unable to sustain human populations booming out of control. Glover and his team of researchers believe they have the solution to a silent but looming catastrophe—perennial grains. These crops would have the power to drastically reduce wear and tear on the lands that sustain them, while providing a more nutrient rich and cost-effective answer to the world’s long term food security.
