A farmer’s perspective on the future of agriculture: local innovations in a changing world
Motivated by the frequent lack of farmer perspectives in the current debate on future global food security, FSE commissioned a documentary on farmer’s innovations and their views on the future of agriculture.
The intention of this film is to document real life stories that tell much more than the aggregated country-level FAO statistics that food security experts often use as key evidence in their assessments. We aim to show that the answers to the problem of global food security lay in the ecological intensification of world agriculture. But we also aim to show that it is not easy, that local problems need local innovations, and that approaches that blend farmer and scientific knowledge have the greatest chances to succeed. The film will be released in January 2014; here are two short extracts. Comments are most welcome.
