How traditional knowledge can help ensuring food security

Planting for Change” is a film I came across while doing the MOOC Global Food Security – Addressing the Challenge, from the University of Lancaster on Future Learn.

It shows how communities in China making use of old and traditional knowledge – the one we are losing or have completely lost on the so called developed countries – are addressing the challenge of keeping on getting food despite climate changes.

With a traditional approach, with no need to use pesticides, they obtain organic food with good yields and as it seems with a fair income.

So, don’t miss it! You can watch it on the International Institute for Environment Development’s website.
