It’s a new year.
As we rev up our laptops, clean off our desks, and dig in to projects old and new, we at OCA (and Via Organica and Regeneration International) are about as grateful as it gets.
Sure, we face a long list of challenging battles. Some old and familiar, like the ongoing fight for labels on foods containing GMOs, and bans on dangerous pesticides. Some newer, and fraught with heavy-duty learning-curve challenges—like our Regeneration International project, which will require us to coordinate with partners in all corners of the world, to keep up with the latest soil science and best farming practices, all while coping with the looming threat of a planet that’s nearing the breaking point.
Along the way, we will have to deal with profit-hungry corporations who value shareholder approval above public health, environmental safety and the very future of our planet.
But we will deal, thanks to your generous support.
We are grateful that nature has shown us the path toward health, food security, climate stability. It’s up to us to push for the policies, at all levels—local, state, federal, global—that will allow us to work with nature, not against it, so we can quickly scale up a new, regenerative food and farming system. One that will feed the world, while it cools the planet.
We are reminded daily that without you, we could not do this important work. Thank you.
