Live Stream Event from the Open Society Institute

Yesterday FORA.tv streamed a live event from the Open Society Institute: Food Security and Climate Change, joining together the power of social media and online video.

The provocative discussion was moderated by Ross Gelbspan, author of two acclaimed books on climate change: Boiling Point and The Heat is On, with participation from Sara Scherr, president and CEO of Ecoagriculture Partners and journalist Mark Hertsgaard. Hundreds of online viewers joined a full-house in New York, commenting in realtime and submitting questions for discussion. Thanks to everyone who joined the conversation.

We'll have the program posted within a few days. In the meanwhile, stay tuned for upcoming FORA.tv Live Stream Events!
