In this episode of the Talking Biotech Podcast (464) host Dr. Kevin Folta engages with journalist and author Michael Grunwald about his book 'We Are Eating the Earth.' They discuss the complex relationship between food production, climate change, and biotechnology, emphasizing the need for multifaceted solutions rather than single silver bullet approaches. Grunwald shares insights from his journey into understanding food production's impact on the environment, agroecology and regenerative farming, the challenges of public perception regarding biotechnology, and the importance of innovative practices in agriculture. The conversation also touches on the issues of food waste, biofuels, and the necessity for government investment in agricultural research and technology.
