CLIMATE CHANGE

A Call to Address Climate Change

As the growing climate crisis impacts food producers across the country, the call for a Just Transition toward climate resilience is echoing throughout Congress, and USDA Secretary Vilsack is advocating market-based strategies and capital-intensive technologies to reduce emissions.

Countering Vilsack’s response, a diverse group of food, farm, and environmental organizations is hosting a webinar intended to highlight the problems with market-based strategies, and provide local food producers’ perspectives on addressing the climate crisis through policy action.

Presented by the National Family Farm Coalition, Friends of the Earth US, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, and Organic Consumers Association, the April 8th virtual webinar will feature the following speakers:

–Elizabeth Henderson, Northeast Organic Farmers Association-New York
–Rosanna Marie Neil, Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance, Washington, D.C.
–Mardy Townsend, Ashtabula-Lake Geauga Farmers Union, Ohio
–Shannon Anderson, Powder River Basin Resource Council, Wyoming
–Ben Lilliston, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy
–Jason Davidson, Friends of the Earth US
–Alexis Baden-Mayer, Organic Consumers Association, moderating
–Niaz Dorry, National Family Farm Coalition/Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance, Massachusetts, closing remarks

COVID-19

COVID-19 Cover-up Collapsing

The supposed World Health Organization-Chinese government “investigation” into the origins of COVID-19 is becoming widely exposed in the global media as a sham, orchestrated by Chinese Communist officials, WHO bureaucrats (funded by the US, China, and Bill Gates), complicit scientists who carry out dangerous lab engineering of viruses, and US funders of the Wuhan Lab disaster including Anthony Fauci from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Peter Daszak from the Eco-Health Alliance.

REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

Regenerative Grazing: Humane, Healthy, & Climate-Friendly

Approximately 68% of the world’s agricultural lands (eight billion acres as compared to four billion acres of croplands) are used for grazing. The majority of these landscapes are unsuitable for raising food crops.

These rangelands and pasturelands are home to over a billion people who are dependent on the livestock that graze on these lands for their living. These landscapes are often some of the most degraded lands on the planet due to deforestation, erosion, drought, and inappropriate grazing practices.

The good news is that there are a range of grazing systems that can regenerate degraded ecosystems, sequester carbon, increase ground cover, biodiversity, soil organic matter, water holding capacity, and raise the income of several hundred million small farmers and herders.

COVID-19

Former CDC Head Says Pandemic Was Caused by a Lab Leak

In related news, the former Director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Robert Redfield, told CNN March 26 that he believes the coronavirus “escaped” from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and that it was spreading as early as September or October of 2019.

INTERVIEW OF THE WEEK

Stopping Dangerous GOF Experiments: Interview with Dr. Richard Ebright

The recent WHO/Chinese government “investigation” of the origins of COVID-19 is increasingly being exposed as a cover-up and a fraud.

Dr. Richard Ebright of Rutgers University, a world-recognized expert on bioweapons and laboratory safety, is one of the twenty-six world scientists who signed the Open Letter: “Call for a Full and Unrestricted International Forensic Investigation into the Origins of COVID-19” released March 4 by the Wall Street Journal and Le Monde. This Open Letter has fueled the debate over the pandemic’s origin in the wake of the bogus WHO-convened “investigation of the origins” mission to Wuhan.

Criticizing the official whitewash by the WHO and the Chinese government, Dr. Ebright points out:

“A credible investigation would have had Terms of Reference that: 1) Acknowledged the possibility of laboratory origin, 2) Ensured access of investigators to records, samples, personnel, and facilities at the Wuhan laboratories that handle bat SARS-related coronaviruses, 3) Enabled collection of evidence, not mere meet-and-greet photo-ops, 4) Authorized an investigation of months, not mere days. And 5) A credible investigation also would have had conflict-of-interest-free investigators, not persons who were subjects of the research and/or closely associated with subjects of the investigation.”

VANDANA SHIVA

Vandana Shiva on the Taking Down of Bill Gates’ Empires

In this powerful interview with Dr. Joseph Mercola, Dr. Vandana Shiva discusses Bill Gates’ efforts to seize control over, and profit from, every field that has to do with sustaining life. Gates’ attempts at technocratic control over farming, food, and health are a threat to all of humanity.

Instead, as Vandana Shiva describes, we need regenerative agriculture, real food, and food sovereignty to truly empower health and regeneration.
