The panel will highlight some of the technical/economic/political/practical challenges and opportunities that we need to honestly face in order to make farming-based climate improvement strategies actually work at scale. Our hope is to raise the level of discussion about these important strategies, acknowledging the unknowns and limits while suggesting ways forward. Speakers Include: David Montgomery, Professor of Geology at University of Washington and an expert on regenerative agriculture, will focus on farming for soil quality as a way to both feed our growing population and reduce greenhouse gasses.
