No denying – destructive winds, floods, landslides etc are thrown at us by the Goliath called “Climate Change.” As Secretary of Agriculture BBM Sir, please be our Brave Little David and throw the little stone called “RA” – Regenerative Agriculture. Then, we produce zero greenhouse gases (GHGs) and defeatClimate Change!

In our inaction – Deaths and damages are everywhere.

Krixia Subingsubing says: “New Climate Reports Point To Surging Global Disaster” (01 Nov 2022, Inquirer, newsinfo.inquirer.net):
Two new reports on climate change are pointing to an accelerating climate disaster, as their conclusions show the world was falling drastically short of its goal to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The reports are from the United Nations Framework for Climate Change (UNFCC) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO):
With their respective findings, the UNFCC and WMO aim to convince governments to revisit and revamp their climate plans within the next eight years…
The UNFCC found that “the world’s nations could only shave off less than 1 percent from their projected 2030 emissions.”
Pathetic! Too little too late! I will let the UNFCC and WMO worry about countries reducing their greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Reducing GHGs takes too much time!
Removing is sooner, not later. The solution: Regenerative Agriculture (RA): ZeroGHGs!
I first wrote about RA 2 years ago: “Regenerative Farming – Enriching The Soil Enriching The Farmers” (29 Oct 2022, Frank And Healthy Minds, blogspot.com).
BBM Sir, please plan out with your Department of Agriculture (DA) advisers – former Secretary of Agriculture William Daris the best – but please urge him to change his perspective from “Balanced Fertilization” to “Solely Organic Fertilization”!
Why RA? EOS Data Analytics says in “Regenerative Agriculture: Practices For Secure Future” (eos.com) that “Regenerative Agriculture techniques aim at mitigating negative consequences of farming activities, including erosion, [nutrient] depletion, pest invasions, desertification, salinization, decarbonization, chemical contamination, among others.”
“Regenerative Agriculture prioritizes environmental sustainability and human health.” I say both are the points that all those UNFCC and WMO people are missing – they are concentrating on countries who are failing to cut down on GHGs in their industrial activities. Removing is better than cutting down!
These are Regenerative Agriculture practices according to EOS Data Analytics:
(1) No-Till And Pasture Cropping
(2) Annual Organic Cropping
(3) Compost And Compost Tea
(4) Biochar And Terra Preta
(5) Holistically Managed Grazing
(6) Animal Integration Into Crop Production
(7) Ecological Aquaculture
(8) Perennial Cropping
(9) Silvopasture
(10) Agroforestry
I will add (11) Reforestation.
Suffice for me to say that any principle, practice or position in agriculture that eliminates chemical fertilizers & chemical pesticides is #1 Primate Change! Regenerative Agriculture means: No greenhouse gases – no Climate Change!@517
