Why are you doing this?

The “debate” around the open air crop trial at Rothamsted has generated substantial amounts of heat, but little light.

Newspapers have written columns and hosted comments, organisations like Sense About Science have hosted chat sessions where proponents of the trial have answered questions.

Conversations have taken place at #geeksinthepark

As far as we can see no-one has created a neutral space and recruited experts from across the range of interested disciplines with a range of views to answer questions from interested members of the public with free access.

That’s what we intend to do with this event.
