Diane, thanks for this. Looks like a very important symposium. Another wonderful, precious and super important voice in this discussion is that of Vandana Shiva, who with the Navdanya movement in India, is a powerful proponent of earth and people centered regenerative agriculture based on millennia of knowledge by those who work the land to provide humanity with healthy food. Her book "Oneness vx. the 1%" lays out the stark contrast between the mechanistic, technocratic, life-denying agriculture proposed by Bill Gates and is ilk, and the life-affirming, biodiverse, regenerative, abundant organic ways of humans deriving sustenance from the earth.
This is so wonderful! Thankyou

Shiva is mentioned as writing the foreword to Mitchel's book. I have ling admired her.
