Dr. Shane Simonsen is an author, plant breeder, bet-hedger, who left the academic world to start a zero-input agriculture farm that he writes about for his blog, zeroinputagriculture.wordpress.com. We talk peak oil, signs of impending collapse, the systems that will replace of globalism, breeding crops, how not everyone’s gonna be a farmer, and what it means to prepare for an uncertain future without falling prey to (too much) doomerism.
