One Step Forward, two steps back:
The costs of ignoring ecology in managing pests.
In the 2008 Rachel Carson Memorial Lecture, Charles Benbrook will describe major changes in how conventional farmers in the U.S. are dealing with pests today, and new problems created as a result. He will explain why corporate-driven innovation tends to create new pest and pesticide risk problems, and in the end, tends to leave farmers less well off.

"What we have to face is not an occasional dose of  poison which has accidentally got into some item of food, but a persisitent and continuous poisoning of the whole human environment."
