Short films about Soil & Carbon Farming including
excerpts from The Seeds of Vandana Shiva documentary film

The solution to climate change & the solution to poverty are the 
same". Vandana Shiva

       Join us on Thursday July 21, 7:30 pm , when local groups come 
together to support both the Soil Not Oil international campaign & 
the upcoming second
annual Soil Not Oil conference in August of this year with an evening 
gathering of film & discussion in Ojai, CA. Local filmmaker Camilla 
Becket will be in attendance sharing excerpts from her soon to be 
released film The Seeds of Vandana, with other short films on soils & 
carbon farming also a part of the evening.

     In 2015 the first Soil Not Oil conference was held in Northern 
California with the intent of supporting the Soil Not Oil 
international campaign launched by brilliant Indian scientist, 
eco-activist, & author Vandana Shiva.  Vanda Shiva is a founding 
member of both Regenerative International and the Navadany 
Foundation, who were among the first to connect the dots between 
climate change and the disastrous soil practices of industrial agriculture.

       Restoring global soil quality is one of the best things we can 
do for climate change.  Because our lives are entirely dependent on 
the health of our soils, the Soil Not Oil Campaign demands the care 
and regeneration of soils worldwide. Emphasizing extensive 
restructuring of land management practices, especially agriculture, 
is key to combating climate change with biologically healthy soils 
capable of sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, while also 
restoring water cycles, stopping ocean acidification, re-establishing 
biodiversity, improving food production, and revitalizing local 
economies across the planet.

     The film & discussion event takes place on Thursday July 21, 
2016, 7:30- 9pm, at the Farmer & the Cook Restaurant, 339 W El Roblar 
Dr, Ojai (Meiners Oak) CA 93023.   No reservations required. For more

The California Climate and Agriculture Network (CalCAN):
A coalition of sustainable agriculture and farmer leaders that 
advances agricultural solutions to climate change. Agriculture can 
play a unique role in responding to the climate crisis by producing 
renewable energy, sequestering carbon and reducing greenhouse gas 
emissions while securing our food system for generations to come.

Agriculture and Climate Change Article by Bill Ostrander  rancher and 
unsuccessful candidate for 24th Congressional District seat  (Central 
and South Coast California)
Agriculture creates more than 20 percent of our carbon footprint and 
approximately 35 percent of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions.

"4 per 1,000" Initiative:
The "4 per 1,000" Initiative wants to demonstrate that agriculture 
can provide practical solutions to the challenge of climate 
disruption, while also meeting that posed by food security through 
the use of farming methods that match local conditions: e.g. 
agroecology, agroforestry, conservation agriculture, landscape 
management. http://4p1000.org/understand

Restoring Global Soil Quality Is One Of The Best Things We Can Do For 
Climate Change:
Little known climate change fact: Just the first meter of soil 
contains as much carbon as the entire atmosphere. And there's 
potential to soak up much more.
