Feeding 9 billion people on a hot planet is a daunting challenge. California can play a leading role but its searing drought is stressing its ability to be the world’s fruit basket and salad bowl. Does the solution involve organic food, industrial monoculture, GMOs or all of the above? What can Americans do to make food choices that support change in the food system?
A recent cover story in National Geographic recently outlined Jonathan Foley’s five step plan to feed a hot and crowded world. We’ll discuss that plan for food security with Dr. Foley and two food leaders from the top levels of government and business.
