Description

The banana is an interesting case study. It is the world’s most popular fruit, yet it could very soon go missing from our store shelves due to a disease we’ve seen once before—leaving a large nutritional and economic hole in our society. The banana helps tell the story of how biotech is a key tool in strengthening our food systems to make our favorite foods more resilient, more sustainable, and more accessible. Featuring interviews with:Anna Rath, President & CEO and Director of VestaronDan Koeppel, author of Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the WorldBetsy Booren, SVP of Regulatory and Technical Affairs at the Consumer Brands AssociationTom Vilsack, Secretary of United States Department of Agriculture
