Hi Austin Max, thanks for the great advice.

I should have mentioned my reasons for wanting to tackle this guy. He is the only one of us who was raised on a farm, plus he went to agricultural college too. The rest of us are all city born and bred so his words carry some weight with most of the people in our group. I really want to set the record straight and as we are all together only during our rather short breaks my responses need to be brief, factual and punchy so as to stand any chance of getting something across.

Hi All,

Many thanks for the advice here.

Hi All

I have been interested in Permaculture for just over a year now, and through this have developed an interest in the environment and sustainability.

Today in work a rather heated debate took place over environmental issues in general and food growing in particular. The most vocal was a staunch advocate of industrialised farming who insisted there is little if any room for organic methods if we want to feed the world. Sadly I realised that my reading so far had not equipped me to debate at a political and economic level on these subjects.

Any advice on some good reading to remedy this would be much appreciated.

Bob
