Agroecology: Confronting the advance of industrial agriculture and climate
change from the campesino trenches
Dr. Miguel Altieri
UC Berkeley
Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management
Thursday, April 2 at 4 pm
Mann Library Rm 102
Dr. Altieri is an internationally recognized pioneer in the field of
agroecology. His research program focuses on understanding the role of
biodiversity in the control of plant pests. Working extensively with small
farmers in Latin America, he has shown that many traditional agricultural
practices can serve as models for modern science-based sustainable
agriculture. Dr. Altieri has done extensive international development work
in Africa, Latin America and Asia. For more information visit

This event is free and open to the public. Sponsored in part by the GPSAFC
and the New World Agriculture and Ecology Group at Cornell (NWAEG).
