Is ‘sustainability’ happening fast enough to protect our precious resources: our climate, our water, our soils, and indeed protect ourselves..? As we reel from one economic crisis to another, more ‘natural’ disasters and political unrest, and feel the force of a volatile commodity market and rising food prices... we simultaneously attempt to ‘manage sustainability’. These days there is a focus on ‘upscaling’ and how we can change a little in the right direction to maximise reach.
