VIDEO OF THE WEEK:

Can organic farming fight climate change? Yes. And we’re not just
talking about food miles. Research from the Rodale Institute shows
that sustainably-farmed soil absorbs 30% more carbon than conventional
agriculture, and switching our farmland to organic would cut greenhouse
emissions by 10% in the US (20% in Canada and most of the rest
of the world). For a concise explanation of how organic farming
could be a major tool in the fight against climate change check
out the 10 minute online video "SOIL: The Secret Solution
to Global Warming," featuring Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser.
The website includes an online petition calling on world leaders
to switch subsidies from conventional to sustainable farming practices.
