Agro-ecology and consumption
change can secure future food supply
Food security in times of
scarce natural resources requires an ecological re-think of our food and farm
systems
Brussels 10/11/2011 – Food systems must become more
sustainable, reduce the use of external inputs and improve nutrient recycling
to secure a sufficient food supply for future generations. Organic farming is
already many steps ahead on this path. This was the overall message of the
IFOAM EU Resource Efficiency conference held on Wednesday.

Conference on Resource Efficiency in Food Systems, 9 November, 14-18h, Committee of Regions, Brussels

Brussels, 24/10/2011 – The European agricultural
sector must adapt to the growing nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deficiency in
Europe if it wants to continue being productive, competitive and
environmentally-responsible. As energy prices for the production of synthetic
nitrogen rise further, and mined phosphorus resources decline, it is becoming
increasingly evident that status-quo farming cannot continue indefinitely.
