Gene
Traders: Genetic engineering in agriculture is furthering the global concentration of corporate control over our food and health. This development is furthered by global trade agreements, and by the aggressive tactics of international financial institutions, governments, and agribusiness corporations. Brian Tokar, a Vermont-based author and activist, will discuss the hazards posed by genetic engineering, examine the interests furthered by this technology, and describe the ways that people around the world are resisting this threat to our health and our future.
Brian Tokar is the
director of the Biotechnology Project at the
Institute
for Social Ecology in Vermont. His most recent books are
Redesigning Life? The Worldwide Challenge to Genetic Engineering,
and Gene Traders: Biotechnology, World Trade and the Globalization
of Hunger. Co-sponsored by Political Science and the Center for Sustainable Environments. |
