Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners

Court Cantrell does not comply Dec 5

This is good, good news, y'all.

The #RodaleInstitute is helping #GeneralMills transition GM farms to organic farming, aka farming without chemicals -- as #RobBell puts it: that thing that for thousands of years was just called #FARMING.

AND #Sprouts is the fastest-growing retail grocery in the USA.

Whole episode is great, but what I'm referring to is 07:15 - 15:20.

"Based on peer-reviewed research and the seasoned observations of agronomists working around the world, this white paper confidently declares that global adoption of regenerative practices across both grasslands and arable acreage could sequester more than 100% of current anthropogenic emissions of CO2 and that stable soil carbon can be built quickly enough to result in a rapid drawdown of atmospheric carbon dioxide."

"On top of that existing degradation, we are now losing an estimated 36 billion tons of soil every year, based on the 2017 consensus estimate of the European Commission Joint Research Centre. Once again, using simple but deadly math, this suggests that since 2014 (when the previous white paper was published) the planet has lost more than 200 billion tons of soil, or approximately 26 tons of topsoil for every human."
