Description
Michael Pollan describes his program to transform American agriculture as a "sun food agenda." He is the author of two influential books---In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto; and The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. He is the director of the Knight Program in Science and Environmental Journalism at UC-Berkeley.

Get a free ticket to the Michael Pollan Seminar by becoming a Member of The Long Now Foundation, a San Francisco based non-profit that promotes long-term thinking. Membership starts at $8 per month and you get free entry to the 12 Seminars and other member events we produce each year.

The Seminars About Long-term Thinking were started in 02003 to build a coherent, compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking, to help nudge civilization toward Long Now's goal of making long-term thinking automatic and common instead of difficult and rare.

Seminar hosted by Stewart Brand.
