I wanted to understand why it is important to make our agriculture adaptable. This TedTalk by Cary Fowler discusses the issues of climatechange and food supply.
Cary's work in preservation of crop production provides insight of one way peop;e are already preparing for a new kind of agriculture. Check out this Tedtalk by Britta Riley to find out what she's doing to help.
What conclusions about the importance of adaptable agriculture can you draw from these two Tedtalks? How is climate change related to crop production? Can you contruct a model, like Riley's, that would change how agriculture is farmed? What would result if our agriculture was not able to adapt to it's surrounding environment? Can you assess the importance of adaptable agriculture?
