ESSAY OF THE WEEK<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Regeneration: The Obstacles in Our Path<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"hand<\/a><\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

When people ask the question\u00a0\u201cWhat is Regenerative Food and Farming?\u201d\u00a0my usual response goes something like this:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regenerative agriculture and animal husbandry is\u00a0the next and higher stage of organic food and farming, not only free from toxic pesticides, GMOs, chemical fertilizers, and factory farm production, and therefore good for human health; but\u00a0also regenerative in terms of the health of the soil, the environment, the animals, the climate, and rural livelihoods.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Or as my fellow steering committee member for Regeneration International, Vandana Shiva, puts it:\u00a0\u201cRegenerative agriculture provides answers to the soil crisis, the food crisis, the climate crisis, and the crisis of democracy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comparing Organic, Regenerative, and Agroecological Farming<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"regeneration<\/a><\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

In June 2015, some 60 people from 21 nations\u2014including entrepreneurs, farmers and scientists, representatives of educational institutions, policy-makers and NGOs\u2014met in Costa Rica to form an\u00a0international movement<\/a>\u00a0called Regeneration International.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These diverse partners came together with a commitment to a common goal:\u00a0to reverse global warming and end world hunger by facilitating and accelerating the global transition to a \u201cregenerative agriculture.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The original founders of Regeneration International included:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022Ronnie Cummins of the Organic Consumers Association (USA)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022Vandana Shiva of Navdanya (India)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022Andre Leu of IFOAM (Australia)<\/strong><\/p>\n

GLYPHOSATE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Revealed: Monsanto and US Officials Have Pressured Mexico to Drop Glyphosate Ban<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"drone<\/a><\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

OCA\u2019s sister organizations in Mexico,\u00a0Asociaci\u00f3n de Consumidores Org\u00e1nicos\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0V\u00eda Org\u00e1nica<\/a>, have been active for over a decade in\u00a0campaigns to ban GMOs and Monsanto\/Bayer\u2019s toxic pesticide glyphosate in Mexico.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019ve provided funds and staff to successful campaigns such as Sin Ma\u00edz no Hay Pa\u00eds, (Without Corn There is No Country), as well as a campaign working with Mayan communities and organic honey producers in the Yucatan to\u00a0ban GMO soybeans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve pressured Maseca, Mexico\u2019s largest tortilla company, to\u00a0stop putting imported GMO corn into their products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve won\u00a0major court battles against GMO corn and soybeans; and along with 300 other farm, environmental, indigenous, and organic organizations, we\u2019ve been\u00a0lobbying the Mexican government to ban glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup herbicides), which they recently announced would be phased out by 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, recent documents reveal that the US government and Monsanto have made outrageous efforts to bully Mexico\u2019s government into reversing their ban on glyphosate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join us for a conversation with regenerative organic agriculture and nutrition experts\u00a0Ray Archuleta and Sara Keough\u00a0of UnderstandingAG.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We’ll be discussing\u00a0Kiss the Ground and learning how, as Ray says in the film, “We get the soil right, we can fix a lot of our issues. Healthy soils lead to a healthy plant. Healthy plant, healthy animal, healthy human, healthy water, healthy climate.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ray Archuleta is a scientist with over 30 years experience as a Soil Conservationist, Water Quality Specialist, and Conservation Agronomist with the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sara Keough is an \u201cEco-Nutritionist\u201d with a clinical practice in Maryland where she supports patients with a wide variety of health conditions including digestive issues, autoimmune disorders, heart disease, diabetes, and other metabolic issues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SURVEILLANCE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Web of Players Trying to Silence Truth<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"mouth<\/a><\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

Following the same bullying strategies used by Monsanto and Bayer to stop us from informing the public about the dangers of GMO foods and toxic pesticides, we can now see that\u00a0the same playbook is being used by Big Tech and Big Pharma to shape the public narratives about COVID-19 and the Great Reset.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Again, a central facet of these campaigns is to\u00a0silence critics, in particular those with large online followings,\u00a0including OCA, Mercola.com, Robert Kennedy Jr.\u2019s Children\u2019s Health Defense organization, National Vaccine Information Center, and others.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercola, OCA, and others have been publicly\u00a0labeled a \u201cnational security threat\u201d<\/a>\u00a0to the U.K. by Imran Ahmed, a member of the Steering Committee on Countering Extremism Pilot Task Force under the British government\u2019s Commission for Countering Extremism, and the chief executive of the\u00a0Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH)<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Ahmed, Mercola, OCA, and others who question the safety and necessity of a COVID-19 vaccine may be prone to violent extremism.\u00a0This defamatory statement clearly has no basis in reality whatsoever. Rather, it\u2019s part of the propaganda aimed at destroying the opposition\u2014in this case the opposition to the technocrats driving\u00a0the Great Reset agenda<\/a>,\u00a0which spans across social, economic and health related sectors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE TRUTH ABOUT COVID-19<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ronnie Cummins\u2019 & Dr. Mercola\u2019s New Book<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"the<\/a><\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

Since early 2020, the world has experienced a series of catastrophic events\u2014a global pandemic caused by a so-called novel coronavirus;\u00a0international lockdowns and border closings causing widespread business closures, economic collapse, and massive unemployment; and an unprecedented curtailment of civil liberties and freedoms\u00a0in the name of keeping people safe by locking them up in their homes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are now living in a world that is increasingly ruled, not by our democratic systems and institutions, but by\u00a0public health fiat, carried out by politicians who rule by instilling fear and panic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The good news in all of this is that we can take control of our health and that, together, we have the power to unite and fight back for our health, democracy, and freedom. The time is now for a global awakening. As Dr. Mercola and Cummins remind us, this is the fight of our lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pre-Order your book now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of Dr. Mercola\u2019s and OCA\u2019s readers have asked us why we are using Amazon for pre-orders of our new book, since Amazon is obviously part of the problem, not the solution to our Global Crisis. Dr. Mercola puts it quite well:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Truth About COVID-19<\/em>\u00a0will be available on April 29th, but you can preorder it now on Amazon. Why Amazon, you may ask? Well, this book talks in detail about pandemic profiteers, and by getting its ranking pushed up via one of the biggest Big Tech companies benefiting from this global pandemic\u2014although I am not thrilled about associating with Amazon\u2014we are actually using their platform against them!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

LIVE PRESENTATION<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Regenerating the Desert?<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"Ronnie<\/a><\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

It\u2019s hard to imagine how a dry, degraded desert could be the key to reversing global warming, but a new initiative called\u00a0The Billion Agave Project<\/a>\u00a0proposes to do just that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Billion Agave Project is a game-changing agroforestry and holistic livestock management system\u00a0that farmers in the high-desert region of Guanajuato MX have recently developed. This strategy combines the growing of\u00a0agave plants and nitrogen-fixing companion tree species (such as mesquite), with holistic rotational grazing of livestock.\u00a0The result is a high-biomass, high forage-yielding system that works well even on degraded, semi-arid lands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And on top of all of that, this agroforestry system is capable of\u00a0drawing down and storing massive amounts of atmospheric CO2.\u00a0In fact, one of the goals of the Billion Agave Project is to draw down and store one billion tons of climate-destabilizing CO2!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Want to learn more? Ronnie Cummins and Andre Leu will be giving a live presentation on the Billion Agave Project Today at 4PM CST as part of the\u00a0Growing Stronger: Collaborative Conference on Organic & Sustainable Farming<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why Politicians and Doctors Keep Ignoring the Medical Research on Vitamin D and Covid<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Journalist Jonathan Cook writes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is probably not a good idea to write while in the grip of anger. But I am struggling to suppress my emotions about a wasted year, during which politicians and many doctors have ignored a growing body of evidence suggesting that\u00a0Vitamin D can play a critically important role in the prevention and treatment of Covid-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is time to speak out forcefully now that a new, large-scale Spanish study demonstrates not a just a correlation but a\u00a0causal<\/em>\u00a0relationship between high-dose Vitamin D treatment of hospitalized Covid patients and significantly improved outcomes for their health.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all talk about resilience. But what does that mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Resilience is what protects us from the hard times and the unexpected.\u00a0Resilience is our ability to adapt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We need resilience in our lives, but\u00a0we also need to build resilience in the systems we live in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have spent years planting the seeds of resilience, campaigning for the kind of system change that will ensure a better future:\u00a0healthy food, clean environment, regenerative farming, honest business, honest politics, a sustainable economy, human scale lifestyles that honor community and individual rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are working for you and we are working with you to create a better future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With your continued support, we can create resilient health, agricultural and environmental systems so that we\u2014and those who come after us\u2014can continue to thrive.<\/strong><\/p>\n
