—
The weekend 14-15 November the Danish network organisation Omstilling Nu, together with the newspaper Dagbladet Information and Copenhagen Business School, hosted the conference Economy, People and Planet 2015 – Exploring Actions of Transition.
The conference revolved around four topics: Exploring Complementary Currencies, Exploring Cooperatives, Exploring Local Food Production and Exploring Peer-to-Peer Dynamics.
To explore the topic of local food production we had invited professor at Columbia University Dickson Despommier to talk about feeding the city through vertical farming. After his talk we caught him for an interview om his views on the challenges and opportunities for transition.
