Two Degrees 13 - Organic Farming
First Broadcast: 16 January 2007
Featuring:
- Craig Sams
Soil Association Chair, Craig Sams, has been making some extraordinary
claims. He calculates that a worldwide transition to organic farming could
help us reduce carbon in the atmosphere by half the amount that we need to
in order to stabilise climate change. Sams - who is also the founder of
Whole Earth Foods and Green & Blacks Chocolate - sees carbon pricing as a way of making this transition possible.
Next week we hope to get a couple of independent experts to examine these
claims and their implications.
