      Judith Schwartz will present a workshop with Abe Collins at the NOFA MA Summer Conference in Amherst on August 9-11. The workshop is titled, " Soil, Climate, and Why Farming Matters." Below is a short description: While we hear about fossil fuels, much legacy carbon derives from poorly-managed soil. The flipside is that carbon can be returned to the soil, thus also enhancing fertility, biodiversity and water retention. We’ll discuss how climate change mitigation and resilience pivots on soil—and how this empowers farmers and activists. The date and time for this workshop has not been finalized.

    Cows Save the Planet

    And Other Improbable Ways of Restoring Soil to Heal the Earth

    Journalist Judith D. Schwartz looks at soil as a crucible for our many overlapping environmental, economic, and social crises. Schwartz reveals that for many of these problems -- climate change, desertification, biodiversity loss, droughts, floods, wildfires, rural poverty, malnutrition, and obesity -- our ability to turn these crises into opportunities depends on how we treat the soil.
