"There is a new movement against farming. This is no random grassroots movement. It�s a global one with political interests. This new collective strategy proposes to reduce agricultural production, reduce livestock numbers, and ban plant growth-enhancing fertilizers.

The objective, they claim, is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide. They say this will �save� the planet from climate catastrophe. But the proposed actions threaten to increase food prices, cause shortages of staple crops, and increase global food insecurity." So begins the article that is the basis for this interview. We talk about an example in the Hudson Valley where a farm was bought out, but for some reason, the land is not producing really, any food. Why? We talk about population and food and so-called global warming. We talk about electric vehicles. This is kind of like a fireside chat. Participants: Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, Dan Elmendorf
