ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
Surviving the Approaching Storm
We are fast approaching a tipping point in terms of climate disruption, degenerative agriculture, deteriorating public health, financial meltdown, and political corruption.
To survive and thrive in turbulent times we will need to organize ourselves at the grassroots level to carry out a series of regenerative organic transitions, not only in terms of food and farming, but also in transportation, housing, health, education and politics.
While remaining engaged in pressing governments and businesses to green and revitalize the economy and stabilize the climate, OCA believes that we must "dig in" and prepare ourselves locally and regionally to become as regenerative and self-reliant as possible.

Take Action!
The Climate Emergency is finally getting the attention of the media and the U.S. (and world) body politic and the media, as well as a growing number of politicians, activists and even U.S. farmers.
Alongside the massive political and economic campaign to move to 100% (or nearly 100%) renewable energy as soon as possible, we must put an end to the massive emissions of our corporate-dominated food and farming system and start drawing down and sequestering in our soils and forests billions of tons of “legacy” CO2 from the atmosphere, utilizing the enhanced photosynthesis of regenerative farming, reforestation and land restoration.

May 2019 was a turning point for climate change. The world reached a record of 415.3 parts per million of carbon dioxide (ppm CO2) in the atmosphere—the most in over 3 million years. The UK Parliament declared an environmental and climate emergency on May 1. Pope Francis has followed this by declaring a climate emergency on June 14.
A study published in May shows that if we don’t succeed in radically reducing emissions, civilization could collapse by 2050. The authors of the report showed that we are on track to "… a world of 'outright chaos' on a path to the end of human civilization and modern society as we have known it…"
The good news is that we can turn this around by scaling up Regenerative Agriculture.

You depend on your local farmers for the healthy food you buy at your community’s natural food store and farmers’ market.
Unfortunately, many small family farms struggle to succeed financially. That’s because farm policies favor big farms and multinational agribusiness corporations, not your local farmers.
It’s time to change that. And the best way to do it is to unite farmers from all over the country around efforts to rewrite U.S. food and farming policies.
