Our Guest Speaker for April will be Alf Orpen talking on WHY conventional agriculture cannot continue (the science not the belief). WHAT is polyculture farming (increasing food production ten fold without degrading the soil). HOW to make it happen nationwide (participation).

Alf’s formal studies include engineering (mechanical) and he is currently (and will be for the rest of his life) a student of the applied sciences (biology).
