Modern farming is currently the most impactful human activity on Earth. By consuming more water, land, and nutrients than any other industry, our current food systems have become a primary driver of environmental destruction. With that, a staggering 60% of global calorie production is diverted to animal feed, while another 10 to 15% is lost to biofuels. This “race to the bottom” for struggling farmers leaves the soil depleted, while corporate control by machinery and chemical manufacturers emerge as the only true winners. Is there a less destructive way to feed the world?
There is a better way.
Learning Again in Almonte invites you to join local farmer and educator Dr. Alberto Suarez Esteban for an eye-opening course in which we move beyond the gloom of industrial farming to explore how regenerative practices can actively heal what we have broken.
What You Will Discover:
- The Reality of Food Systems: Understand the hidden mechanics of our current system to become a more informed advocate and consumer.
- The 10 Principles of Regenerative Agriculture: A deep dive into the core strategies that turn farms into carbon sinks and sources of hope
- Collective Action: Since we all have food in common, we have the collective power to advocate for the change we need whether through consumer choices or political support.
- The Home Solution: Learn practical ways to utilize your own home garden as a vital part of the global solution.
We have the power to change the landscape of our planet. It starts with education and ends with a more resilient, life-giving food system.
