Researcher, author and activist Timothy A. Wise has worked for years to explain to the general public how industrial agriculture (Big Ag) is more a threat to the planet and humanity than a solution to hunger.

Based on his book Eating Tomorrow: Agribusiness, Family Farmers, and the Battle for the Future of Food, and recent IATP article on Mexico's lawsuit against Monsanto/Bayer re GM corn, Tim Wise explained the numerous issues associated with corporate agriculture, including GMOs, toxins and excess fertilizers.
