Event Description

The Timothy C. Linnemann Memorial Lecture on the Environment presents Dr. Ivette Perfecto

Agriculture is moving in two opposite directions: 1) industrial agriculture which implies corporate consolidation, intensification, simplification, monocultures and large-scale; and 2) agroecology, which implies, diversification, complexity, and small scale. In this talk we will examine the impact of industrialized agriculture and food systems and the need to transform them. We will also examine examples of how that transformation is happening though the growing worldwide agroecological movement.
