As global warming continues unabated, there is a growing need for sustainable agricultural practices. The world’s largest commercial farms, which are currently dominated by monocultural farming methods and reliance on synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, must transform into smaller-scale, biodiverse operations that focus on soil health and regenerative agriculture.
The shift towards localized food production is essential for building resilient communities capable of withstanding the impacts of climate change. This transition will require a strong consumer movement to support local farmers who are implementing sustainable practices, as well as a restructuring of agricultural policies at all levels of government.
It is crucial that we recognize the importance of soil health in our fight against global warming and embrace the wisdom of pro-ecological farming methods. By doing so, we can create a more just, equitable, and sustainable food system for future generations.
