Princeton
University

As part of the Bert G. Kerstetter ’66 Ethics and
the Environment Lecture Series, the Princeton
Environmental Institute (PEI) hosted a one-day
symposium and a two-day conference on campus
(both
events are open to the public, registration
suggested) that explored the scientific, policy
and ethical questions presented by the need to
greatly boost food production to feed a growing
world population while reducing agriculture’s
contribution of about 30 percent of the world’s
greenhouse gases.
