Jon_Stewart.jpg- Stewart thinks farmers in the developing world may be getting a sense of false security because the poorest will ultimately feel the effects of climate change most immediately and most acutely. Also, he belongs to the camp facing the conclusion that air-freighting will soon become economically unsustainable as the demand for oil starts to outstrip supply.
Hopefully viable alternative jet fuels or solar powered planes or those using zero-emission fuel cell technology would come into play before it comes to that.
- Stewart suggests that instead of a ban on organic air freight overnight, there should be a plan over the next 10 to 20 years where developing economies become less dependent on air freight and create more local opportunities. It wouldn't hurt if the so-called developed economies created more local opportunities for themselves.
