If not them, do you think somebody else, within 5 years, 10 years? We can blame these guys for climate mayhem:) 01:08:55 Art Hunter: Keeping your soil "covered" is new to me. How do farmers do this? 01:19:04 Art Hunter: (Q) what role is played by ethnic origin, religion, and family customs in food consumption and how hard is this to change to meet standards including less waste. 01:34:35 Dave Dougherty: You are likely aware of the so-called century initiative, which calls for 100 million people in Canada by the end of this century. Assuming we are unable to import food late this century, what sorts of diets would we be able to provide for such a population using domestic food production methods? 01:44:24 Ted Manning: We did work many years ago to try to identify the places in Canada (and in some other countries) with the greatest capacity for food production and also which were most important to sustain and set aside for futud needs. Some successes but not all. Many oather countries use similar ecosystems much more intensively and productively. Environment Canaa worked with for Example Barry Smit on many spatial multivariate models to examine possibilities and sensitivities. 01:44:39 Claude Buettner, MN: Question: Sir Dyson is another rich person with strong interest in agriculture on his 35K acres of experimental farms where he's looking at a small scale of machinery that could be powered locally with solar. But except for this teaser video I don't read much about this possibly important development. Is he on your radar and do you know if this is an emerging trend?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0miKj4UOiA 01:47:44 Dave Dougherty: Struvite Removal Wastewater Treatment: Efficient Phosphorus Recovery Method - Water & Wastewater 01:49:34 Claude Buettner, MN: Replying to "Question: Sir Dyson ..."
