Jasmin Hofer and Brian Bloxam will talk about innovative companies bringing sustainable initiatives to the agriculture and industrial sectors: Energrow, CF Industries and EnviroFresh Farms.   

Energrow designs and builds oilseed pressing systems built for the farm. These unique systems enable farmers to take control of their own crops through direct on-farm processing and production of both feed and fuel.

CF Industries partners with EnviroFresh Farms to produce sweet peppers in its 123-acre greenhouse using waste heat, saving 160 tonnes of greenhouse gases per day.  The project was awarded the 2010 Suncor Sustainability Award.

Jeff Rubin argues that the end of cheap oil means the end of growth. What will it be like to live in a world where growth is over?  Rubin’s own equation is clear: with China and India sucking up the lion’s share of the world’s limited resources, the rest of us will have to make do with less. It doesn’t matter whether it’s bad or good, it’s the new reality: our world is not only about to get smaller, our day-to-day lives are about to be a whole lot different.
