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.
