Our first presentations were from the Soil Association and GM Freeze. These showed view that agricuture needed to take a more considered approach to food production and that an organic approach would be a more preferable farm system. This presented a challenging position given the relatively urgent view of global food safety, security and soveriegnty issues which were raised in discussions in Holland. The paradox between needing to grow more food from less land with fewer inputs was evident within these discussions.
The answers to these discussions have been somewhat academic and "arms length" with all parties looking accross the fence at their 'neighbour' to take action
