Mr. Kimbrell is Founder and Executive Director of Center for Food Safety, serving as an internationally recognized voice and leading public interest attorney in the fight to protect the environment and the public from the threats of global industrial agriculture and faulty governmental policies.

As a noted expert in environmental and food issues, Kimbrell has been called to testify before the U.S. Congress and is a frequent contributor to documentaries, including the recent film, The Future of Food. Kimbrell’s accolades include a spot on Utne Reader’s list of the world’s leading 100 visionaries, and The Guardian recognized him in 2008 as one of the 50 people who could save the planet.

I agree ecology is the economy. I don't agree that big government is necessary. Without large pools of capital, there is no need for big government. They are synonymous. Interesting talk!
