We now know that 20-30% of human-made green house gases come from today’s industrial agriculture. Yet very few people acknowledge that our present food production systems are the greatest source of climate degradation. Even less are taking action.
Restoring health and balance in our biosphere requires us to dramatically reduce emissions and repatriate large parts of the carbon that is already in the atmosphere.
Fortunately some are leading necessary evolution in agriculture and soil management techniques. Consumers also have a responsibility to be selective in our food choices in order to drive demand in the right direction.
‘The soil will save us’ author Kristen Ohlson, discusses these important issues, in an interview at this audio link.
