Consulting the Genius of Place: An Ecological Approach to a New Agriculture
by
Wes Jackson
Nov. 29th noon-2pm
Leonard S. Klinck Building
Room 200
In this eloquent and timely call to arms, Jackson asks us to look to nature itself to lead us out of the mess we’ve made. We do this by consulting with the natural ecosystems that will tell us, if we listen, what should happen to the future of food. Jackson believes the time is right to do away with monocultures, which are vulnerable to national security threats and are partly responsible for the explosion in our healthcare costs.
