Can We Feed the World? � An evening with Joel Salatin

This is hands down the most frequently asked question to Joel or anyone else who promotes localized, solar-driven, carbon-fertilized systems. Even most foodies and environmentalists have a deep-seated assumption that were it not for the petroleum-based fertilizer boom � the green revolution � we could not feed ourselves. Those massive Kansas wheat field and California almond groves, for most people, represent efficiency and abundance. Nothing could be further from the truth. Backyard gardens and multi-speciation are far more productive per acre. Modern scientific aerobic composting was not invented until 1943 � about the same time as chemical fertilizer became widely used. In this performance, Joel will give you the tools to articulate a credible �feed the world� argument.

Joel Salatin is one of the most recognized farmers and sustainable foods activist in North America and perhaps the world. An eloquent, quick-witted, and entertaining lecturer, Joel uses decades of farming experience, combined with meticulous research on timely topics, to deliver inspirational talks to audiences around the world. These 2 speaking engagements are for anyone concerned about our food ecosystem and looking to foster the local, sustainable food movement.
