DESCRIPTION:Will the light brown apple moth prove to be the invasive threat to 
 California agriculture, that the United States Department of Agriculture 
 (USDA) claims it to be, or have damages to New Zealand agriculture been 
 grossly exaggerated? \n\nShould the vulnerabilities created by chemically 
 dependent mono-cropping and other conventional agricultural practices be an 
 excuse for eradication projects that put at risk public and environmental 
 health? \n\nWhat will happen to local organics if the California Department 
 of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is allowed  to douse the California 
 Peninsula and San Francisco Bay Area with pesticides months in and months 
 out for years to come?\n\nTalk with\n\nMiguel Altieri\nUC Berkeley 
 Professor of Agroecology and entomologist\n\nRobert Lieber, RN \nMayor of 
 the City of Albany, one of the cities on the list to be sprayed, and

 accidents and releases, including the Chevron spill.\n\nJohn Davis, RN 
 \nEnvironmental and Peace Activist, works in Pittsburg, Contra Costa 
 County, as a geriatric nurse.\n\nRob Schultz \nVineyard Manager and Farmer
