Soil Not Oil:
How to feed ourselves on a post-oil world
Emma Hockridge, Soil Association Campaigner
at St Barnabas Church, Albion Street, Kenilworth
Rapidly rising food prices have brought home to us how dependent we have become on oil to supply our food. Despite growing evidence that organic agriculture is better for both people and the planet, powerful agrochemical and biotechnology multinationals are now fighting to protect their multi-billion dollar fertilizer, pesticide and GM interests through well-financed lobbying at the highest level.
Faced with diminishing and ever more costly oil means we now need a truly sustainable alternative to the way we have been feeding ourselves. Read the Soil Association booklet Soil not Oil with notes and case studies (pdf format, 2.8 Mb).
Members free, non-members £2. St Barnabas Church is on the corner of Albion Street and Park Hill, Kenilworth, opposite the Wyandotte Inn. Limited parking behind the church, also adjacent to the shops on Albion Street.
