Towards Sustainability: Coexistence and Synergy of Biotechnology with Traditional Agricultures A lecture series sponsored by the Biotechnology in Agriculture Study Group, Yale Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics Pamela Ronald is Professor of Plant Pathology at the University of California, Davis, where she studies the role that genes play in a plant's response to its environ- ment. Her laboratory has genetically engineered rice for resistance to diseases and flooding, both of which are serious problems of rice crops in Asia and Africa. Her work has been published in Science, Nature and other scientific periodicals and has also been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Le Monde, CNN and on National Public Radio. Ronald is co-author with her husband, Raoul Adamchak, an organic farmer, of Tomorrow’s Table: Organic Farming, Genetic and the Future of Food. Tomorrow’s Table was selected as one of the best books of 2008 by Seed Magazine and the Library Journal. She writes an award-winning blog on food, farming and genetics.
