011 / Carey Gillam Pollinators And Power

    • News

Today I am talking with Carey Gillam, author and an investigative
journalist for 25 years both with Reuters and The Guardian. She is also the
researcher director for US Right to Know, the most effective non-profit
research organization exposing how corporate funding of Public agricultural
Universities like UC Davis and Uni of Florida corrupt the research about
the danger of agro chemicals.

Her research of industrial agricultural practices and the chemicals it
requires has taken her throughout rural America. She has spent time with
row crop farmers, ranchers, vegetable growers and orchard operators from
the Dakotas to Texas, and from California to the Southeast. She has been
welcomed inside the high-tech laboratories, greenhouses and corporate
offices of some of the largest U.S. agribusinesses. And she has spent
countless hours interviewing key U.S. regulators, academics, lawmakers, and
scientists. With years of this behind-the-scenes reporting, Gillam has
developed deep insight into the risks and rewards of the modern-day food
system, and hopes to share that knowledge with others who care about the
food they eat and feed to their families.

Carey has just finished her second book, The Monsanto Papers; Deadly
Secrets, Corporate Corruption and One Mans Search for Justice. To Quote a
Barnes and Noble review, “With enough money and influence, could a company
endanger its customers, hide evidence, manipulate regulators, and get away
with it all—for decades?”
