Homegrown Solutions This panel discussion was recorded at the Future Tense event: Feeding the World While the Earth Cooks, which was held in Washington, DC on April 12th, 2012 Johannes Lehmann - @Cornell_Univ Associate Professor, Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, Cornell University Martin Kleinschmit - @cfra Farmer Sustainable Agriculture Specialist (retired), Center for Rural Affairs Jeff Moyer - @RodaleInstitute Farm Director, Rodale Institute Moderator: Brian Vastag - @brianvastag Science reporter, Washington Post When today's toddlers are parents themselves, they will face an agricultural crisis. The world population will reach 9 billion. A growing global middle class will demand more food. And climate change will leave farmers holding seeds that won't sprout. By 2050, will our global appetite outgrow our agricultural capacity? We held an event to find out how everyone—growers, technologists, governments, business leaders, and carbon-conscious consumers—will be part of the solution. http://www.newamerica.net/events/2012/feeding_the_world
