HRH Prince Charles on the Future of Food

The Prince of Wales told an audience of students and faculty May 4 that the model of food production prevalent in the 21st century world just doesn't work.

"We will have to develop much more sustainable, or durable forms of food production because the way we have done things up to now are no longer as viable as they once appeared to be," the prince said during "The Future of Food" conference, hosted by Washington Post Live.

Prince Charles last visited Georgetown in 2005, when he attended a seminar on faith and social responsibility.

[crosswind76]

FINALLY a leader is forward thinking and cares... wish our leaders in USA did too! Unfortunately half of the US Government worked for Monsanto!

I'll swear if I god damned please. Last time I looked around, I was still in a free country. Also, welcome to the internet. You're gonna have to get used to people doing things that YOU DON'T LIKE. Nice try at changing the subject, though.

ANYWAYS

Yes, I know for an absolute fact that all members of the Royal family are required to be inducted into this organization, from a young age. If you seriously can't find this PUBLIC info on your own in 2013, then you're truly fucked.

There is no need to swear GlennElliotKeller.

Do you know for an absolute fact that Prince Charles is a Freemason and if he is, what is your point in stating it. Even a Freemason would not condone the destruction of this planet, it would serve no purpose to see its destruction as where would we and they (Freemasons) go. Prince Charles is one voice amongst many that share similar views on sustainable agriculture. HRH condemns the use of artificial fertilisers and promotes holistic agriculture.

why worship him and making him something special. he is just like you and me. no king but king jesus

[GlennElliottKeller]

Indeed, I think your comment is ignorant. You know why? Because this man is a Freemason. He's taken secret oaths that do not line up with what he's saying in this video. If you WEREN'T ignorant, you would have known that, instead of just blindly calling this man a "forward thinker". Have you bothered to consider WHERE he is leading you forward to?

GlennElliottKeller, I recommend you watch the American documentary film "The Future of Food" by Deborah Koons Garcia and The World According to Monsanto. if you think my comment is so ignorant, you must work for Monsanto or US Government. Did you know Obama just appointed Michael Taylor Senior Advisor to the commissioner of the FDA? This is the same man that was in charge of FDA policy when GMO's were allowed into the US food supply without undergoing a single test to determine their safety.

GlennElliotKeller, if you think my comment is so ignorant, which one do YOU work for then. Monsanto or the US Government? Have you watched the documentary Future of Food or The World According to Monsanto? Did you know Obama Michael Taylor was just appointed Senior Advisor to the commissioner of the FDA? This is the same man that was in charge of FDA policy when GMO's were allowed into the US food supply without undergoing a single test to determine their safety.

Very disappointed that he's closing his shop The Veg Shed (produce from his Duchy Farm) because it's not sustainable and not making a profit as his produce was pricier than the supermarket. I loved his book Elements of Organic gardening and wonder why his prices were so high or did his shop fail for another reason?

[GlennElliottKeller]

This comment is so ignorant...

[GlennElliottKeller]

You're fucking retarded. This guy is a 33rd degree Freemason. Any move he wants to make is going to be towards the direction of A New World Order. Wake the fuck up.
