Description

Dr. Ray Goldberg has served a critical role over the past half century in improving the global food system. He is considered by many to be the father of agribusiness and is actually credited with coining the term “agri-business” in 1957.  Dr. Goldberg has been a professor of agriculture and business at Harvard since 1955. He recently published a book called Food Citizenship: Food System Advocates in an Era of Distrust. This book sums up some of the most insightful interviews he held with folks that put their ideological differences aside to work together on solving some of the most pressing issues in food and agriculture. This week in Agriculture Adapts - Climate change’s impact on agriculture: a first person perspective from the dust bowl to now - The pros and cons of GMOs without the stigmatization - Food as medicine-- it’s about time we gave food the credit it deserves - Consumer brands are innovating to improve the profitability and financial resilience of their farmers in developing countries *** Be sure to grab a copy of Ray's book!
