SUMMARY:The Futures of Food and the Futures of Farmers
DESCRIPTION:The Futures of Food and the the Futures of FarmersBy the time today’s UCLAundergraduates hit middle age\, the world will hold almost 10 billion people\,\nmost of them affluent by historical standards. Dinner for the 10 billion\,\nagronomists say\, will be a huge challenge: We are running out of arable land\,\nwater supplies are stretched\, and the advances of the “green revolution” are\nfading. \nResearchers have proposed two\nbroad solutions: maintaining the current system of large-scale industrial\nmonoculture or switching over\, at least in substantial part\, to a much more\nlocalized\, diverse system. The former involves extensive deployment of\ngenetically modified organisms (GMOs)\, heavy chemical use and even heavier\ncomputer monitoring. Meanwhile\, the small\, highly productive farms touted as a\nmodel require vastly more labor—that is\, vastly more people working on the\nland. The choice of system\, a key task of the next generation\, will have\nenormous impact on the kind of lives people lead tomorrow. \nCharles\nC. Mann is the author of 1493\, a New York Times\nbest-seller\, and 1491\,\nwhich won the U.S. National Academy of Sciences’ Keck award for the best book\nof the year. A correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly\, Science and Wired\, he\nhas covered the intersection of science\, technology and commerce for many\nnewspapers and magazines here and abroad\, including National Geographic\, the\nNew York Times\, Vanity Fair and the Washington Post. In addition to 1491 and 1493\, he is the co-author\nof five other books\, one of which is a young person’s version of 1491 called Before Columbus. \nEvent information \n  When:  \n  Tuesday\, May 13\, 2014\n  5:30 – 6:30 p.m. Reception\n  6:30 – 8 p.m. Program \n  Where:     \n  UCLA Public Affairs Building\n  Third Floor Terrace\n  337 Charles E Young Drive East \n  Los Angeles\, California 90095 \nParking and transit informationRSVP by May 8 or contact us for more information:\ncharlesmannatuclaluskin.eventbrite.com   •   310-206-8034 \nSponsored by:\nUCLA\nLuskin Center for Innovation\nCotsen\nInstitute of Archaeology – UCLA\nUCLA\nAsia Institute – International Institute\nUCLA\nLatin American Institute\nGlobal\nPublic Affairs at Luskin\nUCLA\nCesar E.
