Sunday, January 29th, 2:00 PM Petrocollapse And Food Security Presented at the South Central Community Farm The 14 acre South Central Community Farm is a fitting location for a discussion on petrocollapse and food security. Cuba has gone through the experience of peak oil, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, and has managed to pull through without anyone starving through cooperation, shifting to organic farming, and growing food in open spaces within the city of Havana.
This highlights the value of this community farm which resides in the middle of a city of pavement, buildings and limited arable land. The farm is in a state of limbo as it has been sold by the city to a warehouse developer. The developer has not taken control of the property yet only because of community support, and the determination of local activists. But, the future of this farm is uncertain. This event will address issues food security as fossil fuels decline, and will provide information on how we can help save the farm. Speakers: Jan Lundberg - Former oil industry analyst, founder of Auto-Free Times and www.culturechange.org A representative of the coalition to save the community farm - To be announced. There will be time after the presentation for open discussion. The event coincides with the Farmer's Market, so food and produce can be purchased before or during the event. Location: South Central Community Farm 41st and Long Beach Avenue 0.3 miles north of the Vernon Blue Line Station Please consider taking public transportation (http://www.mta.net), biking, walking or ridesharing. 2:00 to 5:00 PM. Free event, voluntary donations will be solicited at the event to benefit the defense of the farm. Sponsored by Pasadena Post Carbon and the Post Carbon Institute |
