cited authors

  • Martin, Christopher

description

  • What is 'food'? What if any are the ethical dimensions of the way in which it is grown, harvested, transported and sold? In this cafe we will take a look at ways in which food and its production have been revolutionized in the last half century or so. We'll discuss the genetic modifications of 'food', how this affects their nutritional content, and what if anything might be worrisome about it. We will look at this issue from the perspective of food growers and companies, consumers and the environment.
