Why Our Food Is So Dependent on Oil

Norman Church's the author is a very knowledgeable British environmentalist.
His article is the fourth in this: From the Wilderness, series.
It's not meant to be read in one sitting. And since we all would like to
continue to eat. some knowledge in this area on how it works and soon may
not maybe helpful.

For those who are interest in the food growing/energy issue Norman has
simplified it with his orderly style.
Also he has limited it to the British isles which for descriptive
illustration is helpful.
Similar papers for the United States tend to become scattered since the
nation is so large and with the same complexity.

The conclusion and it always seems to be the same... what we are doing to
grow food or obtain food from distance sources can not be sustained. And is
completely environmentally destructive while it is continuing to happen.
This also could be seen as a peak oil issue essay as they are so related.
Pass it on!
