Wes Jackson, founder of The Land Institute, at MBL's Lillie Auditorium
In order to solve humanity’s biggest crises—hunger, malnutrition, environmental degradation, and even climate change—farmers and ecologists need to get married.
That was the message Wes Jackson, founder and president of The Land Institute of Salina, Kansas, brought to Woods Hole last week.
In a room filled with local scientists and backyard farmers, one could imagine a harmonious marriage.
If only the two hadn’t gotten divorced in the first place.
