On Earth Day, Regeneration International, with our 360 partner organizations in 70 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Oceania, North America and Europe, will continue to promote, facilitate and accelerate the global transition to regenerative food, farming and land management for the purpose of restoring climate stability, ending world hunger and rebuilding deteriorated social, ecological and economic systems.
Colin Seis y Neils Olsen son dos agricultores australianos que son pioneros de un sistema de cultivo de cobertura llamado cultivo en pastos o pasture cropping, donde el cultivo comercial se planta en pastos perennes en lugar de en el suelo desnudo. No solo es más rentable, sino que aumenta la materia orgánica y la fertilidad del suelo.
Colin Seis and Neils Olsen are two Australian farmers that are pioneers of a cover cropping system called pasture cropping where the cash crop is planted into a perennial pasture instead of into bare soil. It not only is more cost efficient but it increases soil organic matter and soil fertility.
Hay un desastre a largo plazo que es mucho peor que la pandemia de COVID-19. La pandemia terminará en unos años. Sin embargo, el mundo perderá muchos millones de personas más a causasde enfermedades, hambre, pobreza y eventos climáticos catastróficos como resultado de una emergencia climática sin precedentes.
There is a long-term disaster far worse than the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic will end in a few years; however, the world will lose many millions more to sickness, hunger, poverty and catastrophic weather events because of the unprecedented climate emergency.… Read more here
Some members of our team are in Madrid this week, to help kick off the official COP25 global climate summit. But many of us are in Santiago, Chile. Chile was supposed to host COP25—until mass protests, triggered by social and economic injustices, forced a last-minute change in venue. Rather than abandon our South American allies in the Regeneration Movement, we chose to follow through with plans, initiated early in 2019, for strategy and training sessions to bring regenerative solutions to a country in crisis.
Transitioning a small proportion of global agricultural production to regenerative agriculture and regenerative grazing systems will sequester enough CO2 to reverse cli-mate change and restore the global climate.
It might surprise you to learn that there is no scientific proof of safety for the majority of the pesticides, additives or chemicals that companies put in our food and our body care and household products. Most are not tested, and when there is testing, it misses the vast majority of diseases at the normal rates at which they occur due to faulty protocols.
Given that synthetic nitrogen destroys organic matter, the use of these fertilizers should be avoided as they lock farmers into a perpetual dependence on these costly inputs once the organic matter levels have been run down and most of the organic nitrogen forms in the soil have been depleted. Farmers should be encouraged to obtain all their nitrogen from organic sources such as composts, manures, green manures and legumes and build up their organic matter levels.
Organic agriculture is the quickest, most efficient, most cost-effective and fairest way to feed the world.
