Shifting Story of Climate Change
New story – oceans are becoming acidic, destroying our oxygen supply
Solution: new app to drawdown carbon via regenerative & pasture systems
Current story argues the planet is getter hotter
Solar & wind is the answer

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
~30% emitted via agriculture
Largely attributable to
animals & Nitrogen Fertilizers
92.5% of farmland is devoted to animal production• emits by far the most
GHGs
![Page 23: Awe of Nature: How Culture & History are Shaping our Destiny](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/589eede51a28abe97f8b60e9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Rodale Institute: Down-to-Earth Solution to Climate Change
“Regenerative Organic
Agriculture”
Maximize carbon fixation, minimize
loss of carbon once returned to
soil
Reverse the Greenhouse Effect
Organically managed soils
can convert carbon CO2 from a greenhouse gas
into a food-producing asset

Wright’s 1918 article “Wisconsin’s Hemp Industry”
"Hemp has been demonstrated to be the best smother crop for assisting in the eradication of quack grass and Canada thistles… At Waupon in 1911 the hemp was grown on land badly infested with quack grass, and in spite of an unfavorable season a yield of two thousand one hundred pounds of fiber to the acre was obtained and the quack grass was practically destroyed."

How do we monetize conventional farmers for using
regenerative practices?

National Academy of Sciences
“To date, no adverse health effects attributed to genetic
engineering have been documented in the human
population.”
“There remain sizeable gaps in our ability to identify compositional changes that
result from genetic modification of organisms intended for food; to determine the biological relevance of such changes to
human health; & to devise appropriate scientific methods to predict & assess unintended adverse effects on human
health”
“Given the possibility that food with unintended changes may enter the
marketplace despite premarket safety mechanisms, postmarket surveillance of
exposures & effects is needed.”

“There is no doubt that over the last few years a growing anxiety has developed among all sections of the community of the consequences of modern intensive farming methods. It is increasingly felt by members of the public that large-scale soil erosion, the destruction of wildlife habitat & the excessive use of chemicals… cannot continue unabated without ruining the countryside.”
-Prince Charles
