Starting from the town of Totnes in Devon, over 100 towns, and villages, and even a Forest and a City, have already signed up.  They all help one another through the Transition [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It sounds daft, but it may soon be a reality for some poorer people. In our poorly-thought out rush to be green, the demand on many cereal crops for use as a base in biofuel production means that demand is outstripping supply. This means that prices will rise further, taking some basic foods above levels [...]]]></description>

A solution for the world&#8217;s energy crisis may come in the form of a pig.
American oil company ConocoPhillips and Tyson Foods, the world&#8217;s biggest meat producer, have announced that they will produce diesel from pork fat.
Cows and chickens will also be transformed to power motor vehicles.
The companies say that this renewable source [...]]]></description>

New evidence has emerged showing that organic food does contain nutrients that deliver health benefits, contrary to the view put forward earlier this year by David Miliband, who said it was only a &#8220;lifestyle choice&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[From BBC Website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6516893.stm
In principle, biofuels sound great. You use a sugary or starchy plant and some chemistry and you have a fuel that can power cars, buses, trucks etc. The perfect solution to our dependency on the black stuff (oil that is, not Guiness!)

However, when you start using agricultural land to produce crops for [...]]]></description>

22 March 2007, Rome &#8212; As the number-one user of water worldwide, the agriculture sector must be in the lead in addressing the rising global demand for water and its potential drain on the earth’s natural resources, FAO said today on the occasion of World Water Day.
