Food Shortage & Security Crisis - 29.9.2010

This week on Never Talk Politics, Nick and I take a look at the food shortage and security issue. Nick tries to tackle the question of what is being done in Australia to secure our food supplies. I question whether the government is paying enough attention the food shortage crisis...the government is pushing for a 'big Australia' but is this really sustainable? With climate change, rising fuel costs, water and land shortages contributing to the issue...it's something that's worth looking into! To answer these questions, Nick and I have a chat with Alex Girdwood, a young food enthusiast who is involved with the Sydney Food Fairness Alliance, Professor Jim Scott from the Uni of New England, and Bathurst farmer Ross McIndoe. Listen to hear more!! We hope you enjoy the program!
