Stewart Brand is a pioneer of information technology, the publisher of the counterculture manual the Whole Earth Catalog, and, according to an article for Southeast Farm Press in the US, "one of the poster children for the environmental movement".[1]
He has become a champion of nuclear power and genetic engineering.[2] He has argued for the acceptance of genetically engineered crops in organic food production.[3]
According to a New York Times article, he now "sees genetic engineering as a tool for environmental protection: crops designed to grow on less land with less pesticide; new microbes that protect ecosystems against invasive species, produce new fuels and maybe sequester carbon."[4]
