Mitigating Climate Change through Organic Agriculture and Localized Food Systems

Taking a look at research - where I believe we are going to see a rapid increase of people investigating these kinds of questions - this recent press release/report from the Institute of Science in Society caught my eye: Mitigating Climate Change through Organic Agriculture and Localized Food Systems.

This June if anyone wishes to travel to Modena, Italy there is a FAO Workshop on Organic Agriculture and Climate Change as part of the 16th IFOAM Organic World Congress.

Closer to home, the Michigan Organic Farm and Food Alliance is having their 2008 Michigan Organic Conference the first part of March. And there is the Agriculture and Natural Resources week on a certain campus in East Lansing also during the first part of March. Highlights are listed here including a workshop about the role of pollinators in a sustainable environment... a previous theme on my blog: here and here:)
