Changing weather patterns are already impacting agriculture in many parts of the world.

As countries experience shifts in climate conditions, food security has become a matter of increasing concern. A major contributor to climate change is modern, industrial agriculture.

The effort to reduce our carbon imprint must include a re-examination of agricultural methods as well as exploring new approaches to securing our food supply.

This session highlighted the key role of community supported Organic/Natural Agriculture in feeding a growing population while mitigating climate change and natural resource depletion.
