SUMMARY:Book Talk with Timothy A. Wise
DESCRIPTION:IRLE Colloquia Series presents: \nIn conversation with  Timothy A. Wise about his new book\, Eating Tomorrow: Agribusiness\, Family Farmers\, and the Battle for the Future of Food\, New Press. \nJoin author\, Timothy A. Wise on a worldwide journey to understand the continued prevalence of hunger amid plenty. If the world now has record levels of grain production\, why does it also have rising indices of hunger and malnutrition? Wise makes a convincing case that increasing the industrial production of agricultural commodities does almost nothing for the world’s hungry. Oddly enough\, it can even make them hungrier. \nHe argues that agribusiness and its well-heeled philanthropic promoters have hijacked food policies to feed corporate interests. Rather than helping the hungry eat today\, they are undermining sustainable food production and destroying the natural resources—land\, air\, water\, climate—we all will need to eat tomorrow. \nFor more information\, visit http://bit.ly/TimothyAWise. \nTimothy A. Wise is a senior researcher at the Small Planet Institute\, where he directs the Land and Food Rights Program. He is also a senior research fellow at Tufts University’s Global Development and Environment Institute\, where he founded and directed its Globalization and Sustainable Development Program. He previously served as executive director of the U.S.-based aid agency Grassroots International. He is the author of Eating Tomorrow: Agribusiness\, Family Farmers\, and the Battle for the Future of Food (The New Press) and Confronting Globalization: Economic Integration and Popular Resistance in Mexico. He lives in Cambridge\, Massachusetts. \n\nThe 2019-2020 Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE) colloquia series aims to convene faculty\, students\, and special guests to discuss multidisciplinary research and policy issues impacting workers and their families today.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE) houses the Labor Studies academic program and three units – UCLA Labor Center\, Human Resources Roundtable\, and the Labor Occupational Safety and Health program. IRLE forms wide-ranging research agendas that carry UCLA into the Los Angeles community and beyond.\n\nCosponsored by: \nUCLA Chicana/o Studies Research Center \nUCLA Center for Mexican Studies
