In 2009, Rebecca Hosking and Tim Green made an hour long TV programme
for BBC2 called 'A Farm For the Future' exploring how peak oil will
effect farming and food distribution and why permaculture design, forest
gardening and other regenerative agriculture practices could help us to
cope with soaring fossil fuel prices that drive current agriculture
practices which relies on fertlisers, mechanisation and distribution by
transitioning to organic practices, diversifying yields and relocalising
food supply. Millions of people watched the first screening – so much so
that the BBC rescreened the film within weeks. There were countless
requests for the BBC to release a DVD of the film from all over the
world but sadly they declined to do so. We are therefore posting this
version of what has become a turning point for permaculture in the
mainstream media.
With thanks to Tim and Rebecca for making this film and the BBC Natural
History Unit in Bristol for commissioning it. What is certain is that we
need more films like this and more support for the innovative and
talented film makers who make them.
