Alternatives to Insecticides: High Impact Solutions Without Environmental Trade-offs - The Silent Spring Series - Exploring Ethics

Mon, 19 Nov 2012 00:00:00 PDT

To mark the 50th anniversary of “Silent Spring,” Rachel Carson’s landmark book that helped launch the environmental movement, the Center for Ethics in Science and Technology presents “Alternatives to Insecticides: High Impact Solutions Without Environmental Trade-offs.” In this talk, Stephen Welter of San Diego State University focuses on biologically based alternatives to insecticide use in American agriculture that also consider non-target environmental effects, worker safety issues, and consumer needs as well as the more traditional models of economic trade-offs.

Out of the Past - A Journey Through the Landscapes of Livestock Production

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 72:00:00 PDT

Our grandparents were mostly farmers and ranchers, but now food is produced by less than 3% of the population. This tenuous situation is spreading across the world, from developed countries to the grasslands of Mongolia. The threat to remaining family ranchers in the US and herders of Mongolia has never been more pressing. Can we find a place for the form of livestock production that sustained civilization for thousands of years, or will the pressure of overpopulation and modern production relegate true sustainability to something ‘Out of the Past?
