Café Scientifique with Tony Thompson, "Conservation Ethic in Modern Agriculture" Recorded at the Bryant Lake Bowl on 03-18-14. "Thompson is a farmer and philosopher who notably appeared in Bell Museum's Emmy award winning documentaries 'Troubled Waters' and 'Minnesota: A History of the Land.' In acknowledgement of agriculture scientist, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and University of Minnesota alumnus Dr. Norman Borlaug's 100th birthday, he will be sharing his insights into the Green Revolution '2.0,' including his expert perspective on contentious industrial-scale GMO crops such as soybeans and corn, and the conservation ethic in modern technological agriculture."
