Leading Scientists Debate the Merits of Biotechnology 

Read the debate on transgenic crops published in AgBioForum. Miguel 
Altieri of the University of California at Berkeley and Peter Rosset of 
Food First/The Institute for Food and Development Policy argue that 
biotechnology is not the solution to world hunger. Martina McGloughlin 
of the University of California, Davis, responds with a defense of 
biotechnology, to which Altieri and Rosset reply:

Oakland -- The twenty-fifth anniversary of Food First , also known as 
the Institute for Food and Development Policy, was celebrated on 
September 18, 2000 at the California Ballroom. Attending were 
co-founders Frances Moore Lappe and Joseph Collins, co-authors of Food 
First; dozens of current and past staffers, many of whom have gone on to 
organize other food, hunger, and economic justice related organizations; 
and hundreds of enthusiastic supporters.

Hassan Adamu's Sept. 11 op-ed column, "We'll Feed Our People as We See 
Fit," would have us believe that biotechnology provides the only hope of 
feeding the burgeoning hungry population in the Third World. But 
biotechnology distracts decisionmakers from the more pressing problems 
of alleviating hunger and poverty.
