Roadmap to Regeneration in the US

While the global elite (Bill Gates, Silicon Valley, the World Economic Forum, et al) and the new corporate-indentured Biden Administration are calling for a permanent pandemic-induced “Great Reset” that unfortunately seems to take the technocratic surveillance state and economic ruthlessness of the Chinese Communist Party as its example, we at RI have something else in mind. We don’t need to emulate the lockdown-on-demand and digital dictatorship in China in order to get ahead.

What we need instead is participatory democracy, constitutional freedom, human rights, and Regeneration. We need a grassroots-powered, equitable Organic and Regenerative revolution that can solve our public health, food, farming and climate Crisis.

In case you haven’t read my book, Grassroots Rising (Chelsea Green Publishers 2020), here is the Chapter Nine, which is called “Roadmap to Regeneration in the United States 2020-2030.”

The Regenerative Farm Map: a tool that makes healthy food accessible to all 

Regeneration International, Organic Consumers Association and Kiss the Ground have launched the Regenerative Farm Map, a map to help individuals like you find local regenerative  organic food grown by regenerative farmers.

The map currently focuses on farms in the U.S. but new farms around the world are being added daily. Help us build up our database!

Are you a regenerative farmer? Do you know of any regenerative farm that’s not yet on the map? Register your farm to the map here or encourage your local farms to register! 

By supporting regenerative organic agriculture so healthy food is accessible to all. Thank you!

Essential Reading

The Best Way to Restore Forests Is To Let The Trees Plant Themselves

A group of environmental advocates in the UK from a charity called Rewilding Britain say we should let ecosystems grow by themselves instead of manually mass-planting trees. Natural dispersal of seeds boosts biodiversity, costs a lot less, and may even sequester more carbon. Read more.

Livestock’s Role in a Changing Climate

The grazing of livestock contributes to the concentration of carbon in the soil, so it can be a tool to help reduce atmospheric carbon and thus mitigate climate change. 

Soil Degradation Costs U.S. Corn Farmers a Half-billion Dollars Every Year

One-third of the fertilizer applied to grow corn in the U.S. each year simply compensates for the ongoing loss of soil fertility, leading to more than a half-billion dollars in extra costs to U.S. farmers every year, finds new research from the University of Colorado Boulder published last month in Earth's Future.

Net Zero Emissions Would Stabilize Climate Quickly Says UK Scientist

Joeri Rogelj of Imperial College London says if we bring down CO2 to net zero, the warming will level off, the climate will stabilize within a decade or two. 

Soil Can Remove Air Pollution and Regulate Climate Change

Soil bacteria can play a key role in helping to regulate climate change, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Microbiology.
