Bees are responsible for one in three bites of food we eat, and their numbers are declining across the country. Their numbers point to larger challenges facing an increasingly industrial food system. As we kick off National Pollinator Week, please join the Berkeley Food Institute and Pesticide Action Network for a lively discussion with academics, beekeepers and journalists about what's driving the declines, what it means to our food and farming system and what we can do about it. Moderator: Todd Woody, Freelance Environmental & Technology Journalist Panelists: Claire Kremen, PhD, Co-director, Berkeley Food Institute and Professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, UC Berkeley Susan Kegley, PhD, CEO, Pesticide Research Institute and consulting scientist, Pesticide Action Network Gene Brandi, Beekeeper and Vice-President of the American Beekeeping Federation Co-sponsored by Beyond Pesticides, Center for Food Safety, and TakePart.
