Hi, I'm writing from Singapore. I'm not sure if this is the best way to find resources regarding a topic of interest on the future of agriculture, but if you know of any other people or resources I can tap on, much appreciated if you could point me that way.

In our part of the world, we're starting to experience a deep unease with our food sources (no we're not in China, and not linked to the food scandals). It's more that with explosive urbanisation and weakening of traditional agricultural infrastructure, we have the feeling that we can't rely on old farming techniques of the agragrian societies of old Asia to continue feeding the cities. Neither are we enthralled with the industrial scale of ecofarming of cereals, meat and eggs that we see in the West of which we have already implemented here in Asia. We are sort of looking for a way out, and need to find out what has been done or is under study. USA faces much less difficulties than we do thanks to a smaller population, but I think we can find much to learn from.

That's roughly it in a nutshell, but if you know where I could start, much appreciated. I stumbled upon your blog when I googled future of agriculture and Minneapolis as I'm coming up next week for the World Futures Society gathering.

Thanks once again,
