Los científicos urgen recuperar una naturaleza salvaje para mitigar la crisis climática

The global food system needs transforming, and family farmers can get us there with Agroecology.
Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin is transforming the food system from the ground up by introducing poultry-powered, planet-cooling, regenerative agriculture. He talks about the need to rebalance humanity’s relationship with nature with Pip Wheaton, Ashoka’s co-lead of Planet & Climate.
Over the past four years, farmer Patty Gentry has transformed 2 acres of trash-strewn dirt on Long Island’s southeast coast into a resilient and profitable organic farm by betting big on soil.
Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin and the Tree-Range system have turned southeast Minnesota into the epicenter of a budding movement in regenerative agriculture in the Midwest and farther.
Savory’s holistic approach to resource management suggests intensely grazing pastures for short periods and then lengthy rest periods grasslands are restored and soils are revitalized in a way that provides for substantial — possibly earth-saving — levels of carbon sequestration, meaning increasing the density of cattle can help protect against climate change.
Coastal ecosystems like salt marshes sequester millions of tonnes of carbon, but have been whittled away over the decades. Now Canadian scientists are looking to re-flood marshes in an effort to mitigate the impacts of sea-level rise and store carbon, and seaweed is having its moment in the spotlight.
Una de las fórmulas más contundente de mitigación de la crisis climática a nivel global consiste en la creación de anillos, cinturones y murallas verdes. Ya se están desarrollando a gran escala en los distintos continentes.
The potential rates of carbon capture from natural forest regrowth are far higher than previously estimated: letting forests regrow naturally has the potential to absorb up to 8.9 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year through 2050.
“Data from farming and grazing studies show the power of exemplary regenerative systems that, if achieved globally, would drawdown more than 100% of current annual CO2 emissions,” the new research says.
