As water becomes scarce under the pressures of desertification, population increase, and increased industrialisation, access to water will become a big political issue. The politics of our water immediately affects the nature of our being. Food, the soils and the natural systems which produce and sustain them are the material basis of our lives. But increasingly these vital 'resources' are owned and controlled by business systems which damage them for short-term gain. Access to land and to food have been pretty much tied together since the start of agriculture.
Every living being needs food.
As the climate changes in the coming years the politics of food will become to be seen as ecological politics. We need energy for producing food, for cooking things, for warming and cooling our bodies, for changing things and making things. We get most of our energy from the natural ecosystem, as food, oil, coal and wood and so on. Although solar energy is freely available, almost all energy available to citizens is controlled by business interests and must be bought. The business system dictates that the provision of energy will be driven by the imperative for profit in the shortest term.
