David E. Gumpert
Research, Dialogue, Informed Choice Sought by Agriculture Academics
Rutgers University is leading the way to helping our nation resolve our raw milk controversy. A series of lectures is being sponsored by the New Jersey University’s Agricultural Experiment Station to help people understand the issues and provide science-based information about raw milk. Here is your invitation to the next seminar, and links to all the past lectures!
Past speakers in the Rutgers series have included Gary Cox of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund and Mark McAfee of California’s Organic Pastures Dairy.
The next lecture in the series is, The Raw Revolution, by David Gumpert. David E. Gumpert specializes in reporting and writing about health and food issues. He is the author of a new book, The Raw Milk Revolution: Behind America’s Emerging Struggle Over Food Rights.
David Gumpert writes for a number of publications, including BusinessWeek.com and Grist.org. In 2009, Mr. Gumpert was invited to make a presentation to a special symposium at the American Veterinary Medical Association’s annual convention, on “The Raw Milk Conundrum: The Interplay of Science, Policy, and Free Choice”.
Gumpert also writes a popular blog, The Complete Patient, which over the last three years has aggressively covered a number of health and regulatory issues.
The author lecture will include a book signing. If you’d like to attend, here are the details:
