Interview: Author, Advocate Courtney White Unites Groups at Odds through Regenerative Agriculture
"How do we cross-cut all these concerns with sustainable, regenerative practices? Meaning that it’s not just about ranching, it’s also no-till and technology and solar panels and aquaponics. They all link together in this larger picture of how we manage our future, how we build resilience for what I think we all now understand are pretty big challenges coming down the road."
Restoring the Everglades Will Benefit Both Humans and Nature
If we do not make these investments, all of South Florida’s past drought and flooding challenges will intensify as our weather becomes less predictable.
How Farmers Could Be the New Climate Warriors: Agricultural Carbon Credits
Farms are responsible for about 13 percent of greenhouse gas emissions globally—but there's an untapped opportunity offered by crop systems as a means to sequester carbon.
Misgivings About How a Weed Killer Affects the Soil
“Because glyphosate moves into the soil from the plant, it seems to affect the rhizosphere, the ecology around the root zone, which in turn can affect plant health,” said Robert Kremer, a scientist at the United States Agriculture Department, who has studied the impact of glyphosate on soybeans for more than a decade and has warned of the herbicide’s impact on soil health.

Bacteria in branches naturally fertilize trees
Science has only recently delved into the importance of the microbiome of plants. "Having access to the key microbial strains that help wild plants thrive on just rocks and sand will be crucial for moving agriculture, bioenergy and forestry away from a dependence on chemical fertilizers and towards a more natural way of boosting plant productivity," Doty said.
The Carbon Underground: Reversing Global Warming
The hour is late. But we still have time to turn things around by stopping the Carbon Criminals and Earth Destroyers and moving as quickly as possible toward a regenerative farming, ranching, and land use system capable of reversing global warming.
A switch to ecological farming will benefit health and environment – report
The world needs to move away from industrial agriculture to avoid ecological, social and human health crises, say scientists.
It’s a 2-acre farm, packed into a shipping container that doubles as a farm building
"We want to develop this as a rapid response transitional food production system. The box is really infrastructure for places that are struggling with a lack of infrastructure," said Brandi DeCarli, co-founder of Farm from a Box.
How Factory Farming Contributes to Global Warming
When you add it all up, the picture is clear—contemporary agriculture is burning up our planet. And factory farms or, in industry lingo, Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), play a key role in this impending disaster.
Mangroves in Crisis: Why One Man Works to Save the Plants That Fight Climate Disruption
Mangroves are the roots of the sea. Mangrove trees store up to five times as much carbon as other trees, which makes mangrove forests one of the most carbon-rich habitats on the planet.
Small Farmers Are Foundation to Food Security, Not Corporations Like Monsanto
Biodiversity and small farmers are the foundation of food security, not corporations like Monsanto which are destroying biodiversity and pushing farmers to suicide. These crimes against humanity must stop.
Our Fossil-Fuel Economy Destroys the Earth and Exploits Humanity – Here’s the Shift We Need to Be Sustainable
A just transition to a regenerative economy restores our relationship to food, Mother Earth and our communities.
