Paris Climate Change Conference and Sustainable Farming

This week’s climate change talks in Paris are critical. As climate negotiators and activists gather to hammer out an agreement that will guide humanity’s response to climate change, take a moment to check out my “Take 5 with Tony” web series video below that I did on October 6th. In it, I present an overview of the carbon imbalance and highlight a key strategy to combating climate change that is largely overlooked.

A recent op-ed by Jeff Biggers in the New York Times entitled, “Iowa’s Climate Change Wisdom” also deftly highlights the critical role that more strategic farming practices can play in fighting climate change.

Low-till, sustainable farming systems improve farm health while helping to restore carbon balance to the atmosphere and we must spread this fact far and wide.
