Announcing!
A lecture by
writer and environmental blogger Kurt Cobb:
The
Energy We Eat: The Emerging Oil Crisis and the Future of
Agriculture
Our food
supply is deeply dependent on fossil fuels to power farm machinery for planting,
harvesting and other on-farm tasks; to provide the chemical building blocks for
pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers; and to supply the energy to process,
package and transport food to our tables. As the oil age draws to a close,
can we develop a new agriculture that will feed us without large inputs of oil
and natural gas?
The lecture
is Wednesday, January 18th at 7pm in the Winona County Board Room on the second
floor of the County Government Center, 177 Main Street (kitty-corner from the
Winona National Bank).
Kurt Cobb is
a freelance writer who focuses on environmental and natural resource issues. He
authors a weblog called Resource Insights and his work has been featured on Energy Bulletin <http://www.energybulletin.net/>
and 321energy
<http://www.321energy.com/> .
He also sits on the board of the Michigan Organic Food and Farm
Alliance. He is currently at work on a book on oil
depletion.
This event
is sponsored by the Winona County Economic Development Agency and the WSU
College of Science and Engineering and is intended as an educational event for
the Winona community. The opinions
expressed in this talk are those of the speaker and are not endorsed or
supported by the Winona County EDA.
