Clean air, clean water and healthy food are three reasons to care about regenerative agriculture. In what ways can you support your closest regenerative agriculture farm?
The industrial farming paradigm was started in the US in the 1950’s with good intentions, but the promised increases in yield efficiency and effectiveness of weed and pest control by chemicals has actually harmed our air, water and soil while decreasing food security and nutritition. I led a discussion of the documentary “Sustainable” in a Litersture Review class this week and highly recommend it... please view and share with your friends!
"Climate policy will have to grow much stronger across the board to meet long-term US climate goals... With so much momentum behind electricity decarbonization, foresight suggests shifting at least a little of that focus to the thorny problems of driving, flying, trucking, heating, smelting, coking, and other less sexy, more stubborn energy applications. If US emissions are to be zeroed out by mid-century, those problems will be upon us quickly."
Pennsylvania has extensive biomass resources available for energy production from existing forest management activities, manufacturing byproducts and post-consumer materials. There is a high potential for carbon neutral energy while enhancing long-Term health and viability of our forests.
