Despite the rampant disinformation and a huge number of skeptics online, the planet is indeed facing serious climate chaos. Carbon emissions are at an all-time high, greenhouse gases continue to warm up the earth, and climate change severely destroys biodiversity. Ecologist and author Mark J. Easter joins Corinna Bellizzi to discuss how regenerative farming can address this alarming global problem. They talk about what it takes to adopt better farming practices to produce nutritious organic food without causing a destructive impact on the environment. Mark also explains how the same regenerative approach is needed for producing animal products and why the burning of fossil fuels must be halted as soon as possible.
