George McRobie speaking on Transition Movement Nov. 15

George McRobie, one of the world鈥檚 leading proponents of sustainable agriculture and small-scale technology, will speak at 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 Faculty Lounge in the Main Building, on Tuesday afternoon November 15, from 4:30 鈥� 5:30 pm. The public is invited to this event, hosted by the Institute of Island Studies. McRobie will speak about the Transition Movement in Europe and North America, and the challenge we all face of living with climate change, and living without oil. The recipient of an honorary degree by 糖心vlog传媒, McRobie is a part-time Islander, dividing his year between homes in Brackley Beach and London, England. He is also the patron for The Homestead Farm, the new sustainable agriculture component of the Sir Andrew Macphail Homestead in Orwell, PEI. McRobie was a close friend and colleague of the radical economist E.F. Schumacher,whose landmark book 鈥淪mall Is Beautiful鈥� made such an impact in the latter part of the 20th century. With Schumacher, he co-founded in 1966, of the Intermediate Technology Development Group, an organization known since 2005 as Practical Action. Its mission is to work with poor communities in four regions of the world to develop appropriate technologies in areas such as renewable energy, food production, and small enterprise development. Following Schumacher鈥檚 death in 1977, George McRobie carried on their joint work by writing a practical guide called Small Is Possible, published in 1981. This book made prominent mention of the work of Prince Edward Island鈥檚 Institute of Man and Resources, an organization which first drew McRobie鈥檚 attention and person to our shores. More recently, McRobie has served as President of the Soil Association, Britain鈥檚 foremost farm organization promoting organic agriculture.
