Ag Secretary A.G. Kawamura (California Department of Food and Agriculture) is scheduled to participate in one of several panel discussions at Slow Food Nation, this one entitled: “Building a New Food System: Policy and Planning”.

Kawamura gave orders to spray pesticides over the people of Monterey and Santa Cruz in the Fall of 2007, injuring hundreds who reported it (and many more who did not), and killing hundreds of birds. His plan to eradicate the light brown apple moth, and several other harmless insects and plants across the state, continues with various toxic methods that are putting us all at risk. For more information, please see http://www.dontspraycalifornia.org/lbam.html

Ask Kawamura about his coercive policy of massive, statewide chemical use, and its impact on our health, our environment, and our access to truly organic food without synthetics. Let him know how you feel about his pest(icide) of the month club.
