Food Security and Food Sovereignty start closer to home. That takes investment in local and regional food systems, and science driven
farming practices.
I focus on science and technology in the ag sector
because...
"I look for companies that are improving soil health, sequestering carbon, reducing the use of harmful pesticides, and reducing the environmental impact of industrial food production."
We must reduce our dependence on global food systems and food from faraway places.
That work must start with smart investment at the local and regional level.

Earth-Powered Agriculture
Science-driven regenerative farming practices can restore the health of our planet and people while it sequesters carbon. Agriculture may be the most cost effective tool that we have to pull carbon from the atmosphere and limit the harmful effects of climate change.
Next Generation Technologies
Building a stronger, regionally-based food system with better tilling methods, including no till and limited till, along with multispecies cover crops, crop rotations, reduced chemical applications and intensive, rotational grazing for cattle production, are the key to a sustainable and regenerative food system of the future. I'll be writing about these things.
