By 2050, one in every four people on earth will go hungry unless food production more than doubles. Science-based agriculture has proposed unconventional new tools — earthworms, bacteria, and even genes from sunny daffodils — to meet this towering challenge, but will such innovative ideas be enough? And can we bridge the ideological divide over genetically modified food that separates scientists and environmentalists? What roles do eating and farming play locally in the green revolution?
Join Dan Harris, Pamela Ronald, Louise Fresco and Monty Jones in this discussion and debate of the issues vital to the future of food on June 4th at the Baruch Performing Arts Center.
