VIDEO: Rodale CEO video interview explains how organic farming will combat climate change
Tim LaSalle highlights the ways U.S. farmers can become the leaders in fighting global warming in his "OnPoint" webcast interview. Using basic and proven organic farming practices that build soil will pull carbon dioxide from the air and lock it in soil as carbon that benefits agriculture in many ways. If applied to all U.S. cropland, an effective combination of these practices could result in mitigating (balancing out) 25 percent of the U.S. emissions from fossil fuel combustion, LaSalle said.

Hi Tim, you just did a great job in sharing your earth and humanity healing solutions from Rodale. I would like to use this in my presentations, too. I'm a policy activist cum lobbyist in Pakistan and think there still is no better practical and physical solutions to climate change, food and energy crises than your experience. Congratulations for keeping the solutions simple and user friendly. More power!

Encouraging organic farming
Dear friend its a question that every body facing.Most of the farmers are aware of what is happening in the ecosystem.But its their intuitive opinion,we need to bring in the science of natural/organic methodology to the fore front.Alternative,community based,equitable marketing system needs to be looked at.The existing market system is unjust,manipulative and biased.
The main stream market is not interested and it doesnt recognise organic/natural products.This is the major question that prevail over many honest efforts done in the field of organic farming.
In India the aquifer depth has gone down till 400 metres.This un judicious and unfair to ecosystems.Now its innevitable for farmers to shift the land in to not only organic/natural but this requires a complete paradigm shift in the crop pattern that we have practiced so far.There is an urgent need to go in for biological diversity to meet the immediate requirements of soil for biological remediation and restoration.We nee to identify the local plant species that sustain both ecosystem and livelihood.
