Craig Sams, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of a href=”http://www.carbon-gold.com”Carbon Gold/a and Founder and President of a href=”http://www.greenandblacks.com”Green Black’s/a, provided the last contribution on Thursday’s schedule./p

pAfter a day of head-spinning thinking outside of the box, down-with-the-kids talk, juggling of buzzwords and multiple diagnoses of the current state of affairs, it was nice to be reminded in the closing presentation that a bit of old-fashioned entrepreneurial spirit isn’t necessarily evil. And equally that without an eye on sustainability all other endeavours are pointless. /p

pCraig Sams concluded his address with a neat litany of ‘f’s that have dominated his professional mission and career: food, farming, fish, forestry, fair trade, future for our grandchildren. His obsession is with the processes around our food system. He has devoted his working life to rethinking agriculture. Having been born into the man-made catastrophe of a Nebraskan dustbowl in the 1940s, this determination is perhaps not surprising. /pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/events/the_big_rethink_embracing_uncertainty_16147.asp”(more…)/a
