Business:Entrepreneurship
Have you heard of the writer Rachel Carlson before? She is one of the most important writers who indirectly shaped how you, I, and many people in the West view industrial agriculture. Many would date the beginning of the modern environmental movement to September 1962, when her book āSilent Springā began to roll off the presses.
The work of Rachel Carson shaped how the public sees modern agriculture. It has created an awareness that we arenāt separate from nature, and that what goes around comes around.
Monsanto and many other agrochemical companies got into PR trouble due to Carson. When genetically modified crops were introduced thirty years later, the news landed on the fertilized groundāblooming into a lot of ugly media attention.Ā
In this episode, we talk about the nature of the debate about Genetic Engineering. We touch on GM labeling, how to think of agriculture as a system instead of looking at the solutions individually
And whether positioning anti-GMO activists as anti-science is fair or not.
My co-host Frank Kuehen is the Managing Director of the Adalbert Raps Foundation, funding food science research for a sustainable future of food. And he also is the Chief of the Advisory Board at the herb and spice producer RAPS.Ā
Iām Marina, a science and technology historian focused on agrifood. To get an introduction to GM and pesticides, consider checking out episodes 7.7 - 7.9.
