Harriet Friedmann, University of Toronto: Why we need to reinvent agriculture.

Keynote talk by Harriet Friedmann, University of Toronto at the conference "Is the future of Agriculture Perennial?", Lund University, May 2019 Why we need to reinvent agriculture: Lessons from disrupted civilizations about reconnecting soils and diets Colonial and industrial monocultures began to disconnect agriculture from healthy soils and healthy culinary cultures, which were the foundation of civilizations for 10,000 years. Beginning only 150 years ago, the world’s grain supply became concentrated in a few grassland ecosystems, which have since alternated between ecological crisis and temporary technological fixes. Mining soils and waters cannot continue. Human survival depends on consciously reconnecting crops and diets.
