Week In Week Out - Back to the land

These are some of the concerns raised in a Week In Week Out presented by one of Wales's leading food campaigners, Patrick Holden. A West Wales-based farmer for 30 years, Mr Holden claims our food distribution system is on shaky ground because of its dependency on oil. "More and more people are coming to agree that oil production will peak in the next few years," he says, "and when that happens its price could triple." Mr Holden says the end of cheap oil spells the end of cheap food. The petrol and food shortages of the fuel protests in 2000 could happen again, he warns. Mr Holden predicts the end of cheap oil will ignite social disorder and leave people hungry. The answer? We must all get back to the land - grow and eat food produced locally.
