Climate Radio presents the third in a series of four talks recorded earlier this year at the Soil Association annual conference looking at the impact of peak oil on agriculture.

This week urban architect Andre Viljoen discusses the potential for urban centres to transform themselves into food producing regions. This would help make urban spaces more self-sufficient lower their carbon footprint. In particular he draws lessons from the experience of Cuba - a country which underwent a transformation when it lost access to oil imports after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.

Since this talk runs slightly short, we are able to squeeze in an extract from a performance by author and comedian Rob Newman (http://www.robnewman.com) on the subject of peak oil at the very end.
