Wow -- did you read this one? From the article...He says that the current body of soil science shows that all the cropland on Earth, if farmed organically, could sequester 41 percent of all the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The pastureland could sequester an additional 71 percent. We feel like we can not only take care of 100 percent of current carbon emissions [with organic farming], but we can also send the needle past 100 percent and begin to draw down some of these excesses, he adds. If just half the worlds cropland and pastureland were converted, organic soil could pull 55 percent of annual carbon emissions out of the atmosphere. #organic #healthyeating #parttimepaleo
