As a nutritionist I care about healthy soil and farming practices for the benefits of human health. As a human, I understand regenerative agriculture is critical for the planet’s health. Below is copy shared from Regenerate America’s campaign for congressional action.
“Healthy soil is the foundation of a strong nation. It provides us with food, fibers, and fuel, and ensures the resiliency and longevity of our society.
However, decades of industrial agriculture practices have destroyed our soils, accelerating climate change and decimating the health of our communities, local economies, and family farms.
Americans are facing the impacts: increased food costs, water scarcity, declining health, and costly damages due to droughts, floods, and more.
It is time to hold Congress accountable for solutions.
Regenerative agriculture is a key solution for our climate, health, and water crises, and the 2023 Farm Bill is the opportunity. Farmers and ranchers can regenerate our lands, but they need YOUR help to do it.
Soil is our common ground and our common good, so visit regenerateamerica.com to sign the and demand that Congress support regenerative agriculture in the farm bill!”
