In France farmers and researchers show us that agroforestry techniques, which imitate natural ecosystems, bear enormous potentialities for our agriculture. It appears to be just a matter of time till our monoculture fields will be turned into abundant and biodiverse edible forests.
In England, the new Transition Towns movement is developing amazingly quickly. It gives evidence that food production is not just in the hands of rural farmers, but that it can move to the very heart of cities.
IIn Cuba, the fall of the USSR in 1990 and the US embargo led to an oil peak long before it was due to happen. Shortages in resources led the Cubans to imagine innovating solutions in order to become more self-sufficient in food production. Food is now being produced organically, in a decentralized, community-supporting way.
