Episode 29: British Politics, the CHIPS and Science Act, and Rethinking the Green Revolution ft. Glenn Stone

Épisode 29

jeudi 3 novembre 2022 • Durée 59:13

Jack and Shobita chat about the disasters in British politics, the CHIPS and Science Act, and how to determine whether self-driving cars are safe. Plus we chat with anthropologist Glenn Davis Stone, Professor at Sweet Briar College and author of the recent book The Agricultural Dilemma: How Not to Feed the World. Stone argues that we've been learning the story of the Green Revolution all wrong, and this has huge implications for how we think about more recent agricultural technologies like fertilizer and genetically modified organisms.
