In a new book co-authored with her husband, Raoul Adamchak, an organic farmer for more than 20 years, Prof. Ronald argues that genetic engineering and organic farming can be complementary and an important means of assuring environmentally sustainable food production. In her presentation, Prof. Ronald will discuss what geneticists and organic farmers actually do, and help readers distinguish between fact and fiction in the debate about crop genetic engineering.
