First Annual

Pebble Beach

FOOD & WINE Festival

March 27-30, 2008

                                          

 

Medovina supported the Lexus exhibit at the Pebble Beach FOOD & WINE CLASSIC March 27-30, 2008. Our observation bee hive was all the buzz ...

Our mission was to bring awareness to the role of the honeybee in a sustainable future.  The honeybee should be the poster child for sustainable agriculture.  It produces a perfect food that never spoils and it does this without the aid of a plow, irrigation, fertilizer or pesticides.

In our efforts to develop a sustainable future we must focus on a sustainable energy commitment.  Two major energy requirements in our lives are transportation and food.  If we can find long term solutions to these energy needs we will be well postured for a sustainable future.

The name of the game in agriculture over the past century has been bigger is better. This may no longer be true.  Now that we are at or beyond peak oil, we can not continue to trade fossil fuel for food.  Perhaps we have come to a point where pause is prudent and a bit of reflection on the wisdom in the honeybee model of agriculture might do us some good.
