SOIL IS ONE SECRET SOLUTION TO GLOBAL WARMING
Can organic farming fight climate change? Yes. And we're not
just talking about food miles. Research from the Rodale Institute shows
that sustainably-farmed soil absorbs 30% more carbon than conventional
agriculture, and switching our farmland to organic would cut greenhouse
emissions by 10% in the US (20% in Canada and most of the rest of the
world). For a concise explanation of how organic farming could be a major
tool in the fight against climate change check out the 10 minute online
video "SOIL: The Secret Solution to Global Warming," featuring Canadian
farmer Percy Schmeiser. The website includes an online petition calling on
world leaders to switch subsidies from conventional to sustainable farming
practices.
