Agriculture at a Crossroads
1995 World Food Prize Laureate Dr. Hans R. Herren
During the Monday evening keynote address Dr. Herren presented a compelling argument to move away from genetically modified seeds for improving our world food supply – to embracing small organic, sustainable farms, moving away from the pesticidal destruction of our soil and improve the health of our growing ability.
The report by the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) on which Dr. Herren based his comments may be viewed here.
On Tuesday morning, following the address by Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack, Dr. Herren was seen presenting the IAASTD report to Secretary Vilsack.
