EVENT: Dr Shiv Chopra on food safety

Dr Shiv Chopra tour

Dr Chopra has been called a hero by David Suzuki and Vandana Shiva. A former Senior Scientific Advisor at Health Canada, he is a microbiologist and internationally recognised contributor to the public debate on key food safety issues. He testified before the Canadian Senate, where his evidence led to the banning of Monsanto’s controversial Bovine Growth Hormone.

Dr Chopra will be giving public lectures in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Dr Chopra has a vital message for Australian policy makers - the security of our food supply must be safeguarded. He is in Australia to launch his new book, Corrupt to the Core, that challenges the scientific and policy basis of food safety regulation in Canada.
