Environment & Climate

This year, small producers’ organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean have experienced the effects of climate change in a number of different ways. First of all, the rapid spreading of diseases such as coffee rust in coffee fields in southern Mexico, Central America and Peru has diminished productivity in the region and increased production costs. In Brazil, drought and intense sun when coffee berries are being formed, followed by heavy rains during the drying period for the berries, have reduced the quality and size of coffee berries.

You’ve always supported our joint struggle for an organic and equitable food system. For a chemical-free environment. For corporate accountability. For peace, justice and sustainability.

That mission requires us to strike at the heart of the absolute worst manifestation of our degenerative, exploitative, extractive industrial food and farming system—the $1-trillion factory farm industry.

Late yesterday, a New England donor, inspired by our campaign to force Ben & Jerry’s to go organic, made a generous offer.

We’re grateful because this generous offer validates our

This Compendium of Scientific and Practical Findings Supporting Eco-Restoration to Address Global Warming (the “Compendium”) is a fully referenced compilation of the evidence outlining the power, benefits and necessity of eco-restoration to address global warming.

Fossil fuels have two major problems that paint a dim picture for their future energy dominance. These problems are inter-related but still should be discussed separately. First, they cause climate change. We know that, we’ve known it for decades, and we know that continued use of fossil fuels will cause enormous worldwide economic and social consequences.
