Conversation with Monsanto's Michael Doane
Every Wednesday at 4pm Pacific (and every once in a while at other times) TriplePundit founder Nick Aster will take 45 minutes or so to chat with an interesting leader in the sustainable business movement. These chats are broadcast on our Google+ channel and embedded via YouTube right here on 3p.
On Wednesday, October 23rd, Nick will talk with Michael Doane, Vice President of Sustainable Agriculture Policy at Monsanto.
In their words, Monsanto's vision for sustainable agriculture "strives to meet the needs of a growing population, to protect and preserve this planet we all call home, and to help improve lives everywhere". In 2008, Monsanto made a commitment to sustainable agriculture – pledging to produce more, conserve more, and improve farmers’ lives by 2030.
To join the conversation, the only thing you need to do is pop over to this page at 4pm PST and click “play.” No need to log into anything. However, if you want to ask questions, we’ll be taking Q&A via Twitter from the audience – just tweet to @triplepundit and we’ll incorporate your questions. If you miss the conversation, you’ll still be able to watch it later on YouTube.
