Phil and field workers, summer 09February 2010
Soil Association Annual Conference
Putting our faith in food – action, innovation and transition

Our Phil's has spent two days this week at this year's Soil Association Conference, representing the news and views of Community Farm operators. The conference is taking place in the fantastically image-laden Custard Factory in Birmingham.

Never one to hold an opinion back when given the chance to share it, I know Phil will have contributed fully and passionately in the debates about progressing and securing sustainability, and here is a digest of his experiences there.

So to prime us, this is what the conference is about:

"The challenges of climate change, resource depletion, population growth, diet-related ill-health and meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets means that business as usual in our food and farming systems is no longer an option.

This conference presents a series of challenging debates about the role of science, politics, farming and food sectors and their respective roles in the action, innovation and transition to sustainable models that is needed to meet GHG targets and feed the world."
