France, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the U.K., Germany and Mexico are among the more than two dozen countries that have so far signed on to what one day will likely be recognized as the most significant climate initiative in history.<\/p>\n

France\u2019s 4\/1000 Initiative: Soils for Food Security and Climate<\/a> puts regenerative food and farming front and center in the climate solutions conversation. This is why the Organic Consumers Association<\/a> (OCA), our Mexico affiliate, Via Organica<\/a>, IFOAM Organics International<\/a> and more than 50 of our other activist allies across the globe have signed on in support of the Initiative.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the U.S. government is not yet on board with the plan\u2014even though our country\u2019s toxic, fossil-fuel-based, heavily subsidized (with taxpayer money<\/a>), degenerative industrial agriculture system is a primary driver of global warming.<\/p>\n

A global problem, a global solution<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leaders from 190 countries convened in Paris on November 30 for the 14-day COP21<\/a> Paris Climate Conference. This year, for the first time in over 20 years of United Nations (UN) climate negotiations, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change<\/a> (UNFCC) set out to achieve<\/a> something concrete: \u201ca legally binding and universal agreement to make sure the Earth doesn\u2019t get warmer than 2\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels.\u201d<\/p>\n

To meet that goal, the French Government launched the 4\/1000 Initiative which, distilled to simplest terms, says this: If, on a global scale, we increase the soil carbon content of the soil by .04 percent each year for the next 25 years, we can draw down a critical mass of excess carbon from the atmosphere and begin to reverse global warming.<\/p>\n

Is the French Initiative realistic? Yes, even by conservative estimates.<\/p>\n

Industrial, degenerative farming practices, which include tilling, deforestation, wetlands destruction and the use of massive amounts of synthetic and toxic fertilizers and pesticides, have stripped 136 billion tons of carbon out of the soil and sent it up into the atmosphere. Using the French government\u2019s modest estimates, we can transfer, via enhanced plant photosynthesis, 250 billion tons of this carbon back into the soil in the next 25 years.<\/p>\n

How do we achieve those numbers? All we have to do is help just 10 percent of the world\u2019s farmers and ranchers adopt regenerative organic agriculture, holistic grazing and land management practices\u2014and by help, we mean direct a portion of the billions of dollars earmarked for climate solution projects to farmers who regenerate, not degenerate, the world\u2019s soils. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s a game changer. But only if enough players get in game.<\/p>\n

The plan is here, the time is now<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a December 1 press release<\/a> from the French agriculture minister\u2019s office:<\/p>\n

This initiative intends to show that a small increase of 4\/1000 per year of the soil carbon stock (agricultural soils, notably grasslands and pastures, and forest soils) is a major leverage in order to improve soil fertility, resilience of farmers and contribute to the long-term objective of keeping the global average temperature increase below 2 degrees.<\/p>\n

France\u2019s Agriculture Minister, St\u00e9phane Le Foll, said that Initiative partners<\/a>, which so far include the UN, developed and developing states, international organizations, private foundations, international funds, NGOs, consumer, and farmers’ organizations, have committed to implementing appropriate soil management practices, and to recognizing the importance of soil health for the transition towards productive, highly resilient agriculture.<\/p>\n

Le Foll told<\/a> the French media that the 4\/1000 has become a global initiative, but it\u2019s just the beginning:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to keep going and mobilize even more stakeholders in a transition to achieve both food security and climate mitigation thanks to agriculture.\u201d <\/p>\n

Will the U.S. become one of those stakeholders? Or will our leaders side with the Monsantos and Bill Gates<\/a> of the world, and continue to promote an agricultural system that directly and indirectly contributes 50 percent (or more<\/a>) of the greenhouse gas emissions that are burning up the planet? A system that has failed<\/a> to feed the world, failed to reduce the use of toxic poisons, failed to bring prosperity to the world\u2019s small farmers, failed to produce healthy, nutritious food\u2014a system whose successes can only be counted in terms of gross profits, shareholder value and political clout.<\/p>\n

Whatever it takes<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Obama, who attended the COP21, hasn\u2019t been shy about linking global warming to national security. The President recently told PoliticPro:<\/p>\n

“If we let the world keep warming as fast as it is, and sea-levels rising as fast as they are and weather patterns keep shifting in unexpected ways, then before long we are going to have to devote more and more and more of our economic and military resources not to growing opportunity for our people, but to adapting to the various consequences of a changing planet,” Obama said. “This is an economic and security imperative that we have to tackle now.”<\/p>\n

If focusing on the economy and national security is what it takes to motivate Obama to tackle climate change, we\u2019re all for it. After all, global warming threatens to displace millions<\/a> of people, many of whom already are in a struggle just to survive.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also all for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, which is why we support the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan<\/a> which requires states to cut carbon emissions by 32 percent by 2030. Absolutely, let\u2019s transition from an extractive, fossil fuel-intensive energy system to a clean, renewable alternative. That transition should be a vital part of any global strategy to mitigate climate change.<\/p>\n

But reducing emissions solves only half of the problem. We also have to draw down the billions of tons of CO2 currently heating up the atmosphere. Unless we address the climate change elephant<\/a> in the room\u2014Big Ag\u2014we will fail to solve the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

Scientists estimate<\/a> the world\u2019s soils have lost 50 \u2013 70 percent of their carbon stocks and fertility. Modern chemical-intensive, factory-farm, GMO-based industrial agriculture is largely responsible for that loss. Left unchecked, Monsanto and corporate aqribusiness will continue to destroy our soils, pollute our bodies and eventually take the whole planet down with them.<\/p>\n

The French Initiative is the most direct, most practical, and only shovel-ready plan for reversing climate change.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t need, and don\u2019t have time to wait for expensive, unproven techno-fixes<\/a> \u00e0 la Bill Gates, some of which haven\u2019t even made it to the prototype stage, and many of which could come with unintended consequences.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t need a corporate-focused \u201cClimate-Smart Agriculture\u201d scheme<\/a> that promotes business as usual.<\/p>\n

And we definitely shouldn\u2019t put our faith in Monsanto\u2019s \u201ccarbon-neutral\u201d<\/a> but \u201cpoison-positive\u201d plan.<\/p>\n

What we need is to pressure President Obama<\/a> to pledge U.S. support for France\u2019s 4\/1000 Initiative, now. If we\u2019re going to subsidize any form of agriculture, it should be the regenerative, truly climate-friendly, health-friendly, farmer-friendly type.<\/p>\n
