Excellent podcast from the CBC : Feeding Ten Billion by Raj Patel

"Feeding Ten Billion : The world just got its seven billionth citizen, and the population explosion shows no signs of stopping. In a Saskatoon lecture, writer and activist Raj Patel argues that the only way to feed everyone is to completely rethink agriculture."

I just finished listening to this Excellent podcast . its great to hear some of the stuff we talk about here make it out into the mainstream media!

Why is ten billion desirable? How is it inevitable?

who said it was desirable? I think what Patel is arguing is if we don't totally rethink how we feed ourselves we won't even be able to feed the current 7 billion.
