Talk to the U3A

On 3rd July, I gave a talk to the Harborne and Edgbaston University of the Third Age (U3A). It was on global and local food security.

As you might expect if you’ve had a wander around this website, the picture I gave wasn’t the most reassuring.

What can we do about it? Yup, there were some pointers in there:

  • Drink mostly tap water
  • Eat food. Not a lot. Mostly plants (Michael Pollan’s words)
  • Don’t fly unless you must

AND, particularly relevant for those of us who don’t have a career to lose:

  • Speak truth to power . . .

The presentation, along with notes are now in a PDF file which you can find here.
