Ultra-Low Carbon Farming: Urban and Rural Case Studies

Speakers:

Dr Robert Biel (University College London)
Paul Sousek (Cottage Farm, Cornwall)

This meeting will bring together two pioneering agriculturalists who will share their experience of ultra-low carbon food production.  Dr Robert Biel (UCL) will present on his work at the UCL Developmental Planning Unit's Urban Agriculture research unit.  Dr Biel also runs the Abundance project, which has set up productive food gardens on low-income housing estates in South London.  Paul Sousek produces beef, lamb and vegetables on Cottage Farm in Cornwall.  The farm uses a minimum of fossil fuels, with electricity and fuel for machinery and delivery vans produced renewably on site.
