Шаблон:Short description Alex Avery is the former director of research and education with the Center for Global Food Issues at the Hudson Institute,[1][2] where he conducted research on the environmental impacts of different farming systems. He is the author of The Truth About Organic Foods,[3] a controversial[4] book critical of the organic food movement's attacks on agricultural biotechnology — technology which, Avery says, "offers a more cost-effective way to achieve lower pesticide use and more eco-friendly farming systems..."[5] The book is published by Henderson Communications, a small agribusiness consulting group and independent agricultural-oriented publisher.

The New York Times has written that Avery's non-profit employer as of 2003, the Hudson Institute, has received funding from Monsanto Company, DowElanco and the Ag-Chem Equipment Company.[6]

Avery has appeared on or been quoted in TV and newspapers. Avery has written a chapter for a book on organic pesticides published in 2007 by the American Chemical Society. Avery is the son of food policy analyst Dennis Avery.
