Real Organic Virtual Symposium: In Defense of Biology
Online
Sunday, April 7, 2024
3-5 p.m.
This symposium from the Real Organic Project is going deep into the rapid, food system corporate consolidation and pulling the threads on what this reality will bring to farmers, eaters, and citizens.
Sessions take place virtually on March 17 and April 7.
April 7: Do we need sophisticated tech and chemistry to grow our food today, or should we rely on age-old practices that embrace ecology and human wisdom? The current struggle between these two visions for our future is seen in the EU's Farm To Fork proposal and the USDA's submission to Big Ag's grip on so-called "Climate-Smart" funding. While the pesticide industry doubles down on false promises of higher yields and food security to nations that embrace their yet unproven Green Revolution, organic farmers point to the longtime success they've found building organic matter in soils and limiting pest and disease pressure by advancing biodiversity.
