Ecovillages and Organic Farming Could Reverse Global Warming [Podcast]

Physician and health care reform advocate David K. Cundiff discusses his article “Ecovillages and organic agriculture: a scenario for global climate restoration.” David challenges the IPCC’s failure to model a fully organic global agricultural transition, presenting a scenario where converting 5 billion hectares to biointensive organic farming could sequester nearly 98 percent of projected greenhouse gas emissions.

The conversation details how “GROW BIOINTENSIVE” methods, using hand tools, natural fertilizers, and closed nutrient loops, can outperform industrial agriculture in yield and carbon capture. David also proposes a radical alternative for Point Reyes National Seashore: replacing cattle ranch evictions with pilot ecovillages that solve housing needs while restoring the climate. Discover how a shift to community-based, chemical-free living might be humanity’s only path between extinction and survival.
