METABOLICITY

Over the past year we have been working with several primary schools in the UK through the Creative Partnership scheme to develop outdoor learning environments. We are now including this branch of work with MetaboliCity and will be posting regular blogs here over the coming months... "A growing world population with the potential to reach nine billion by 2050 will require a 50% increase in production by 2030. To cope, the food system will need to be low carbon, resilient, environmentally restorative and sustainable in social and economic terms. It's all exciting and challenging stuff, but this vision is only 20 short years away, has anyone thought about what effect this will have on the day to day lives of farmer? What jobs will they be doing, what new kit will there be and, most importantly, will we have a labour force with the skills to function in this climate-changed world?
