Your opinion about Farm for the Future - BBC Documentary
Check this out- we do not have anything interesting today.
Branislav Boba- In the past farmers didn't use oil. Oh, what a breath taking discovery! Really unbelievable. Who would have thought so.
Pa Doheny- Most of this programme is bullshit its clear this woman has an agenda to discredit modern farming methods one things for sure though we cant feed the world organically she csn dream on
surrealnumber- i was hoping for something about farming and the future of it, not a load of political drivel and two bit fear mongering.
Eugene Vibar- there are so many comments here by people who refuse to believe that our oil is finite.to put in perspective the EXPONENTIAL GROWTH of the human population over the past DECADE ALONE and the "NEEDS" (READ: LUXURIES) that we have dug ourselves into, think of how many Cell Phones you've gone through in the past ten years. ten years before that, how many cell phones did you have? your kids? how many kids do you know today that DON'T have cell phones? outliers aside, you see my point. the standard depiction of a teen today is somebody attached to their electronics. now think about THOSE production processes (like that ham sandwich) and their implications, multiply that by however many developing nations are building toward the lifestyle that "first world" countries advertise (i.e., cars, AC, home heating, water heating, electricity) and, it's evident that our resource consumption has skyrocketed along with our population. by saying that this path is "unsustainable," we don't simply mean that it's not "green." like the prof said in the documentary: it just can't happen. it cannot be supported by the world's remaining supply of resources.
Linnea Simonalle- "Farm for the Future" implies a documentary that presents solutions after a brief intro summarizing the problems. I did not expect more than half the content to be about oil & all the possible crises associated therewith. I am looking for innovative and forward-thinking ideas to try myself and don't really have the time to rehearse the reasons wht so many of us are searching for these solutions. HOWEVER - the wildlife cinematography is EXCELLENT!
Richard B- It takes 10 calories of fossil fuel to produce 1 calorie of food in the current fossil fuel intensive agriculture. You can all prepare to start looting and eating each other or you can become more sustainable and find innovative and ecological ways to produce food. Peak Oil is here so be terrified(The BBC is correct). I hope you have some decent weapons to guard your precious pantry in the next 20 years. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2013/dec/23/british-petroleum-geologist-peak-oil-break-economy-recession

Robert Northrup- I'm a research scientist in high tech here in the United States where, unlike the UK, we still do massive manufacturing, and I'm from Texas where my family's off-and-on been in the oil business since the 1920s, with much success. I have a masters in science degree in biological technology, have worked on conventional and organic farms, and have grown up in Suburbans, Jeep Grand Cherokees, big fat Mercedes-Benz diesels, and the Jeep Wagoneer on our ranch, where we've conventionally raised cattle since the 1930s, have a John Deere tractor, and electric pumps to get well water. We, and other families we know, including our friend T Boone Picken's family, are all moving towards permaculture and the practices outlined in this film. The Arab oil states are building green infrastructure, have hired permaculture consultants like Geoff Lawton, are planning for a future without oil wealth. Oil and gas is, and has been since Oil Creek in PA in the 1850s, a volatile and cyclical business. They're stacking rigs now, they'll be putting them out again within 5 years, short of a global financial crisis due to excess debt burdens and irrational responses thereto, but taking a medium and long-term look, if we're making a big deal of tertiary oil, of dirty crude full of volatiles that explode trains and of natural gas that we used to just burn off at the well instead of use... this stuff is going going and soon-to-be gaaaawn. Anyone with any brains and functioning eyeballs can see what an impact that'll be, when the price spikes - every penny oil goes up drops consumer spending by billions / yr. We might run tractors on Li-ion batteries and cheap Chinese photovoltaics, we might run cars on gassified coal (what they did in the 1850s, before oil, was use coal oil to light lamps... watch some shills act like it's a hot new technology to save-tha-day in 15 years time). But y'all, what the hell is the point? All we ever wanted was just to live the good life in the woods anyhow, and this "food forest" solves that and all these problems in one shot. All the richest oilmen ever wanted was some land with a tank stocked with bass and some damn peace and quiet. If you can get that for $100,000 instead of a hundred million, what's the hold-up? Who likes driving in traffic anyhow? I'd rather take a dirt bike or 4-wheeler through a rich deep cool woods than sit on LBJ calling every idiot a faggot, while flabbing up my butt in a beemer. I'm telling you, that's what we're doing..
PatchesCrashes- hippy shit
edwin Andrada- i salute you mam.your great im also a farmer from phillippines keep up
Reddylion- nice anil Reddy
Love Lies Bleeding Mini Natural Farm- Only self-subsistent natural farming is sustainable in the very long-run. No tilling, no composting, no chemicals, random seeding, 24/7 ground cover, ...
Stefan Bachrodt- Sigh sigh sigh
Sivarama Krishnan- permanent agriculture the only way in future
jmck2009- she has Fantastic Tits
Leananshae- Stop tilling the soil! Read "Soil, Grass, Hope"... it will blow your mind!
Just_guy_ stuff- Gas
Yufang Jin- Array
josh .mulhearn- hemp oil read about it
Partha saradhi G- the idea of growing different grasses and not to plough is great.
Just_guy_ stuff- It's kindof funny looking back on this as we have increasing oil supply and under $2.00 a gallon of oil, take about liberal gargen BS
David Rix- I sometimes ponder the population growth in the world was made possible by the invent of the modern machine. Farming techniques prior to the modern industrial age would not provide the abundance of food items necessary to sustain the current population.(In some locations barely sustained) We would not have reached current levels of human population with non-fossil fueled machines. I'm personally tired of the blame game. With each new invention comes pro's and con's. We discovered oil and lot's of problems were created and lot's of problems have been solved. The earth we live on has patterns; the other side of the fossil fuel age is a lower population - I hypothesize. What about the concept this would happen gradually 'not' catastrophically as this video suggest. We may very well end up returning to manual farming techniques. So what! The industrial age has only been active for appr. 260 years. Let"s say we have another 150 years of oil left at this rate. The industrial age will be slowing down and it may seem harsh but, so will the population. We assume the population will grow but, we don't really know. Sustainability may not let it.
Pieter Kruger- I want to kiss this girl for thinking a bit further than the length of her pretty nose. What uninformed people do not know , farming is a business , It is about efficiency and production cost.Thousands of Farmers around the world start to use natural ecological processes to restore soil and save on fuel .Thank God for showing us in nature how to do it.
DeepHeartPDC- This film's message may seem counterintuitive in 2015 when oil prices are crashing. But peak oil experts predicted this oil price volatility at the "bumpy plateau" section of the Hubbert curve, which is where we are in 2015.Furthermore, "peak finance" experts predicted initial deflationary credit /demand destruction sinkholes on the road to the hyper-inflationary cliff.So this film's message is still valid.
David Rooke- Best video i seen on the subject
Transylvanian Natural Honey- To-do list for you :1. Research what REAL honey can do for your health.2. Find a beekeeper (you can't find real honey in European stores/supermarkets) like myself (see my channel for my website).3. Buy & Enjoy !
Helene Levenson- One of the so-called experts predicted "an energy famine by 2013." Hmm. It is 2014, almost 2015. Gasoline prices are dropping. Not that I'm writing that we should stick solely with fossil fuels, but why is the BBC irrationally trying to terrify its viewers?
A. Myrén- What people do not know but should know about farming.
British Broadcasting Corporation(BBC)- Array
Dinesh Kularathne- Array
Howard S- What a bunch of scare mongering rubbish. I think it's good to have awareness but this is just clearly bias. If we were to all have our own backyard vegie plots and do it ourself it would be a lot more resource intensive. It's just simple economics: specialize and trade, and large scale factories do it much more efficiently. Eg. if you have your own oven at home baking bread it's going to be ridiculously inefficient. Even alternative energy sources need to be scaled up in big quantities to get costs down and solve this problem. I am very confident from the basic research out there we will solve the problems ahead of us.
