Brian, many thanks for the book. Made for interesting and somewhat depressing reading. Perhaps in the next iteration you could put more emphasis on the opportunties in food production. One of the few areas in which we have a natural advantage outside of mining is agriculture - providing we adapt to the changing climate. Technologies like aquaponics and hydroponics which make possible intensive urban and peri-urban farming can be game changers. They dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of food production, go some way to solving the land question, can be used to repurpose disused industrial and other buildings, and should provide export opportunities for high-value produce. Plus, we are already pretty good at both forms of farming. Ed
