The Future of (Sustainable) Agriculture--Part 2 of 2

Fred Kirschenmann, a distinguished leader in sustainable agriculture and an organic farmer, concluded his reflections on agriculture's future at the Organicology conference in Portland, Oregon. He began by addressing the "third elephant in the room": climate change.
