Here's a great op ed in the Washington Post by Michael Pollan and Debbie Barker about how the climate talks are missing the fact that soil plays a critical part in sequestrating carbon or releasing carbon. A third of the carbon in the atmosphere used to be in the soil. Ag practices are the key to putting it back into the soil or keeping it in there or releasing even more carbon into the atmosphere. HMI knows more carbon in the soil means more resilience, productivity, and profit as well as a great list of attendant ecosystem benefits important for everyone.
