Lecture: Dispatches from the Banana Lands

Location: Palamountain Hall: Davis Auditorium

Date: 02/22/2011

Time: 6:30 PM

Speaker: Mr. Jason Glaser, President of LA ISLA FOUNDATION

Description:
For consumers, bananas are a delicious and nutritious start to to the day, a healthy snack and a fixture in our fruit bowls. For millions of residents in the banana lands, the production of bananas means social upheaval, violence and pesticide poisoning. NGO director, filmmaker and investigator Jason Glaser is exploring the origins of these disparate realities, and is hosting a conversation on how workers, producers and consumers can address this disconnect

Mr. Glaser will address these specific problems in the banana industry and share how they are a reflection of a wider problem in industrial agriculture throughout Latin America, especially in the sugar industry. The aim is to open up a dialog at Skidmore about what we can do about these problems and how we can help facilitate solutions.
