<h2>Seminars About Long-term Thinking</h2>
<h4>On Tuesday July 28, 02009</h4>
<h1>Pamela Ronald & Raoul Adamchak</h1>
<h2 class="seminar_title">Organically Grown and Genetically Engineered: The Food of the Future</h2></span>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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."</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The Long Now Foundation's Seminars about Long-term Thinking are hosted by Stewart Brand.</p><p><br></p><h6 class="location_details">Doors open <span class="event_big_p">7:00pm</span>, talk at <span class="event_big_p">7:30pm</span> lasting ~1.5 hours<br>
