Seminars About Long-term Thinking On Tuesday July 28, 02009 Pamela Ronald &
Raoul Adamchak Organically Grown and Genetically Engineered: The Food of the
Future

She's the head of a plant genetics lab at UC Davis; he teaches organic
farming there. They're married (with kids), and they coauthored Tomorrow's
Table: Organic Farming, Genetics, and the Future of Food.

In the book they wrote: "To meet the appetites of the world's population
without drastically hurting the environment requires a visionary new
approach: combining genetic engineering and organic farming. Genetic
engineering can be used to develop seeds with enhanced resistance to pests
and pathogens; organic farming can manage the overall spectrum of pests more
effectively."

Agriculture has been a revolutionary biological science for 10,000 years,
husbanding soil, tweaking the genes of the food crops. This is the next
stage.

The Long Now Foundation's Seminars about Long-term Thinking are hosted by
Stewart Brand.
