(CommonDreams) - Yes, there are a lot of things that are true about the recent COP21 summit in Paris, one of them is the fact that the leaders didn't talk about organic farming; or some way to reapply carbon to the soil.
Well, you know how these seminars work. You pay a hefty fee to set up a booth or something out there, to promote various sciences so there's no doubt there was someone there talking about agroecology or regenerative agriculture. It just didn't make it to the top of the list.
Not to say that it had to get a big mention because the entire point was for the developing countries -- a.k.a. the big polluters -- to at least acknowledge climate change as a problem and then innovate solutions.
This reminds us of a story we saw on PBS newshour back in June.
