Will there be Food?

Jim Wigan is a member of St Andrew's Church and of Initiatives of Change.
On October 7th he addressed a Greencoat Forum in the London centre of Initiatives of Change on the subject of "Will there be Food for All".
'We are meeting in troubled times,’ he said. ‘About 35,000 people died of starvation and related illness in the last 24 hours: nearly one every two seconds.’ Scientists had predicted a year ago that ‘if we don’t act decisively within the next 18 months climate change would eventually push civilization over the edge.’ Now the financial markets were in crisis and more and more farmers were reporting that they were at the end of their tether.
