In 2009, Rebecca Hosking and Tim Green made an hour long TV programme 
for BBC2 called 'A Farm For the Future' exploring how peak oil will 
effect farming and food distribution and why permaculture design, forest 
gardening and other regenerative agriculture practices could help us to 
cope with soaring fossil fuel prices that drive current agriculture 
practices which relies on fertlisers, mechanisation and distribution by 
transitioning to organic practices, diversifying yields and relocalising 
food supply. Millions of people watched the first screening – so much so 
that the BBC rescreened the film within weeks. There were countless 
requests for the BBC to release a DVD of the film from all over the 
world but sadly they declined to do so. We are therefore posting this 
version of what has become a turning point for permaculture in the 
mainstream media.

With thanks to Tim and Rebecca for making this film and the BBC Natural 
History Unit in Bristol for commissioning it. What is certain is that we 
need more films like this and more support for the innovative and 
talented film makers who make them.
