Organic Sustainable Foods: Solutions for Health Crisis & Climate Change
- 1. Organic Sustainable Foods Solutions for Health Crisis & Climate Change John W. Roulac Founder & CEO, Nutiva Co-founder, GMO Inside
- 2. Revolutionizing the Way the World Eats
- 3. Over $2 Million Donated to: With a Goal of $20 Million by 100s of Organizations Funded GMO Inside Rodale Institute EcoFarm Common Vision 2020 Sustainable Farming Food and Environmental Activism Trees and Gardens Healthy Communities Nutiva Gives Back 1%
- 7. Wellness Is Driving The Food Revolution
- 8. What’s in our food?
- 9. Reports Show 159M Lbs. of Monsanto’s Roundup™ in 2012 Food & Water Watch found that the “total volume of glyphosate applied to the three biggest GE crops — corn, cotton & soybeans — increased 10- fold from 15 million pounds in 1996 to 159 million pounds in 2012.”
- 12. Why Exponential Growth in Illnesses? Since introduction of GMO’s in 1990 Autism Gluten intolerance Cancer Infertility Heart disease Auto Immune Diseases Leaky gut & digestive issues
- 13. America Needs an Oil Change Grain-fed spike Omega 6 levels Pasture-fed Omega 6 & 3 are balanced
- 14. Importance of Omega-6 to Omega-3 Brain Ratio impacts: Heart Hormones Cellular Skin
- 15. FAT = Master Nutrient for Long Term Health Avoid soy, corn & canola oils Omega-3 via hemp & chia Fish has Omega-3, concerns Olive, coconut & red palm oils Consume pasture meat & dairy
- 16. 6 Health Inhibitors GMO Food Roundup™ & Pesticides CAFO’s Sugar Toxins & Food Chemicals Multi- Screen Living
- 25. What is Synthetic Biology? “Extreme” genetic engineering Artificially constructing genetic material – DNA Create entirely new forms of life
- 26. Ecover & Synbio Algal Oil Not Natural • Trialed new extreme genetically engineered oil in the UK • Far from natural or sustainable
- 27. Rodale Institute: Down-to-Earth Solution to Climate Change Sequester 100%+ of CO2 emissions “Regenerative Organic Agriculture” Maximize carbon fixation, minimize loss of carbon once returned to soil Reverse the Greenhouse Effect Organically managed soils can convert carbon CO2 from a greenhouse gas into a food-producing asset
- 28. Greenhouse Gas Emissions ~50% emitted via agriculture Largely attributable to animals & Nitrogen Fertilizers 92.5% of farm & is devoted to animal production • emits by far the most GHGs
- 29. Greenhouse Gases Just 3 gases account for 90% of all US emissions Carbon dioxide CO2 Methane CH4 Nitrous oxide N2O
- 30. A CAFO Near You!
- 31. 3 Carbon Sink Drivers Atmosphere Humus-sphere Oceans
- 32. Humus-sphere Humus is the stable, long-lasting remnant of decaying organic material & essential to the fertility of the earth. Photo credit The Guardian
- 33. Steps to Strengthen the Humus-sphere Grow green cover crops Make compost at home & farm Produce Biochar Grow grass in pasture management Cultivate crop diversity systems
- 34. Soil Pool as a Sink for Carbon The soil pool is the most important sink for carbon but is less than half as effective at storing it than it could be. The same is true for the forests & scrub lands. Forests have been degraded or clear cut Agricultural lands have been degraded or desertified world-wide from poor management & industrial farming production.
- 35. Dr. Rattan Lal, Esteemed Soil Scientist “A mere 2% increase in the carbon content of the planet’s soils could offset 100% of all greenhouse gas emissions going into the atmosphere.”
- 36. Fertilizer Impacts on Water & Oceans Synthetic Nitrogen fertilizer is responsible for the nitrate poisoning of two-thirds of the U.S. drinking water supply. Synthetic Nitrogen fertilizer is the major cause of the 500 oceanic dead zones around the world.
- 37. Acidification is Destroying Sea Life “We can attribute the problems in the oyster hatcheries to the increased carbon in the ocean.” Terrie Klinger, Professor of Marine Affairs, University of Washington
- 38. Stop the Ocean Genocide The ocean is the new dumping ground – making it acidic & endangering sea life
- 39. Stop Buying Non-Organic Industrial & GMO Foods – Why? Destroying our oceans!
- 40. The REAL Cost of Cheap Food The cheapest food you can buy is organic nutrient-dense foods, fresh produce, or pastured meat, eggs & milk. You only pay for organic once.
- 41. 1. “Cheap” food at supermarket = down payment 2. Corn, cotton, soy, canola, rice, wheat, & sugar receive 95% of all farm subsidies = tax time 3. Chronic Disease heart, stroke, cancer, diabetes, & obesity = food related illness 4. Clean up drinking water, oceans, atmosphere, farmland pollution = global scale consequences $ Cost of Chemical & GMO Food We (consumer) pay 4 separate occasions for industrial GMO foods
- 42. What do we do? Grow or purchase Organic Stop our addiction to Nitrogen Fertilizer Reduce meat/dairy consumption by 50%+ Switch from CAFO to pastured-based Increase local food production Select nutrient-dense vs. empty-calorie foods Pay it forward & share this knowledge
