Back to All Events
Even before the publication of Paul Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb in 1968, we heard warnings that humanity would be doomed to a future of famine, hunger and starvation unless industrial agriculture were unleashed to grow food as efficiently as possible in every nook and cranny of the world’s arable lands to feed the “ten billion.” Those warnings continue today.

Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation about feeding the world with Dr. Adam Calo, Radboud University in the Netherlands, and Dr. Maywa Montenegro, UCSC. KSQD 90.7
