We have done an excellent job of educating young people about the horrors of climate change without giving them enough insight into solutions they can participate in, says Sheryl Karas with the Center for Regenerative Agriculture and Resilient Systems at CSU Chico.
“Most of us don’t really know what it is like to run out of water. Our farmers have had some good hints about it. They will tell you when you are out of water, you are out of water. My own story illustrates that.” Soil Health Champion Lynn Montgomery, Placitas, NM
Although climate change is a global issue, it can and must be addressed locally. Start by restoring local natural cycles, and the first cycle we look to is water.
Climate solutions can only be implemented when we change our lens from an industrial, exploitive approach into a bio-system approach.
Community Composting is a simple and immediate opportunity to reduce waste, improve local soil, grow nutritious food and fight climate change. Let’s get started!
New Mexico farmer Mark LeClaire talks about the urgent need for our community to invest in forward-looking projects that regenerate both the soil and the cultural aspects of agriculture.
Help garner federal support for soil health.
Watch siblings Alex (12), Adrian (12) and Athena (10) explain the connection between healthy soil and climate change mitigation!
There is a powerful, beneficial partnership between the hydrologic cycle circulating life-giving water and the carbon-based, soil-building, carbon-cycling life in the soil—known as the soil-carbon sponge.
Rodale Institute’s newest white paper demonstrates that regenerative agriculture is a win-win-win climate solution that’s ready for widescale implementation now.
