 Here is an article on the 36th annual Ecological Farming Conference at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, where I gave the keynote address on opening night.

People think it's cars that are the top contributors to carbon dioxide in the air, but greenhouse gasses released in the manufacturing of synthetic fertilizers for farming are bigger problems.

Furthermore, organic farming techniques tend to promote carbon sequestration, as organic farms tend to grow more crops on their land over the course of a year, so there are fewer periods of bare farmland.

Read on for the dispatch from this important agricultural conference.

With natural carbon sequestration of regenerative ag, CO2 is out of our skies and seas and back into the soil.

This article was originally published on EcoWatch.

It's time to de-carbonize our energy and re-carbonize our soils. Carbon farming is the solution to climate change.

It’s time for the climate movement to become carbon-literate. While the NGOs do great work, they’re missing half the solution to our planet’s looming climate chaos. With the natural carbon sequestration of regenerative agriculture, we can keep CO2 out of our skies and seas and put it back into the soil where it belongs.
