List members might be interested in the following online discussion taking place on Thursday, 3-4pm being hosted by Sense About Science (http://www.senseaboutscience.org).

Professor Jonathan Foley and Dr Hanna Tuomisto answer your questions about the environmental impact of organic and conventional farming on the land used.

    Is organic farming better for local wildlife?

    If we want to increase yields doesn’t that mean we have to use a lot more pesticides?

    We waste so much food; do we really need to grow more?

Send us your questions in advance via Twitter or email and Hanna and Jon will answer them on Thursday 18 October between 3 and 4pm. Tweet your questions to @senseaboutsci, use #landuse, or email them to [email protected].
