     A  SATURDAY FOOD CHAIN RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM... 

After decades of  denial, the United States Department of Agriculture has
entered into the field  of organic farming with an official definition and
a first ever USDA certified  organic researcher.   This  Saturday morning
at 9am Pacific on AM 1080 KSCO and AM 1340 KOMY, the Saturday  Food Chain
with Michael Olson hosts that USDA researcher, Dr. Eric Brennan, and 
Driscoll Strawberry Associate commercial farmer Tom Jones for a
conversation  about going organic.       Topics  will include the
differences between organic and conventional technologies in  production
agriculture; the obstacles that must be overcome when switching from 
conventional farming to organic; whether organic technologies can produce
mass  quantities of food; and the possible consequences of USDA supported
organic  research on the food chain. Listeners  are invited to call the
live program with questions and comments at 831-479-1080  or 831-477-1340.
