the 2nd Annual International
Soil Not Oil Conference

At the Farmer & the Cook Restaurant
339 W El Roblar Dr, Ojai (Meiners Oak) CA 93023

Short films about Soil & Carbon Farming including
excerpts from The Seeds of Vandana Shiva documentary film

The solution to climate change & the solution to poverty are the same”.
Vandana Shiva

Join us on Thursday July 21st when local groups will come
together in Ojai, CA to support both the Soil Not Oil international campaign
& the upcoming second annual Soil Not Oil conference happening in August with
an evening gathering of film & discussion. Camilla Becket will be in
attendance sharing excerpts from her film The Seeds of Vandana, with other
short films on soils & carbon farming also included.


In 2015 the first Soil Not Oil conference was held in Northern
California with the intent of supporting the Soil Not Oil international
campaign launched
by brilliant Indian scientist, activist, & author Vandana Shiva one of the
founders of Regenerative International , whose work and foundation Navadany
was among the first to connect the dots between climate change and the
disastrous soil practices of industrial agriculture.


Local Ojai filmmaker Camilla Becket lovingly documented the
work of Vandana Shiva & the Soil Not Oil campaign in the soon to be released
documentary Seeds of Vandana.


Because our lives are entirely dependent on the health of our
soils, the Soil Not Oil Campaign demands the care and regeneration of soils
worldwide. We emphasize that extensive restructuring of land management
practices, especially agriculture, is key to combating climate change,
restoring water cycles, stopping ocean acidification, re-establishing
biodiversity, improving food production, and revitalizing local economies
across the planet.

Furthermore, we recognize that rapidly accelerating human-caused
climate change is an imminent threat to urgent action to halt the reckless
and expanding fossil fuel industry, which pollutes the ecosystems we depend
on and drives climate change, threatening to destabilize our biosphere on a
global scale. The Soil Not Oil Campaign's call for integrated action on
sustainable practices in all areas of human endeavor is essential to ensuring
a safe and healthy world for generations to come.

Restoring Global Soil Quality Is One Of The Best Things We Can
Do For Climate Change: Little known climate change fact: Just the first meter
of soil contains as much carbon as the entire atmosphere. And there's
potential to soak up much

The event takes place on Thursday July 21 , 7:30- 9pm, at the
Farmer & the Cook Restaurant 339 W El Roblar Dr, Ojai (Meiners Oak) CA 93023

The California Climate and Agriculture Network (CalCAN):
A coalition of sustainable agriculture and farmer leaders that advances
agricultural solutions to climate change. Agriculture can play a unique role
in responding to the climate crisis by producing renewable energy,
sequestering carbon and reducing greenhouse gas emissions while securing our
food system for generations to come.

“4 per 1,000” Initiative:
The “4 per 1,000” Initiative wants to demonstrate that agriculture can
provide practical solutions to the challenge of climate disruption, while
also meeting that posed by food security through the use of farming methods
that match local conditions: e.g. agroecology, agroforestry, conservation
agriculture, landscape management.http://4p1000.org/understand

approximately 35 percent of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions.
