Edellisen puheenvuoron jatkoksi. Tämä kanadalainen alkaa olla kypsä asialle:

Viewpoint: Debunking organic food myths again… and again

Quote
Over and over, the term ‘organic’ is used as an umbrella for a variety of qualitative features in food. There is an assumption that all organic products are healthier and safer than conventionally produced food, especially when considering the practices used. However, as exhibited nearly a decade ago, organic foods are not pesticide-free, much to the chagrin of consumers who perhaps purchase organic for exactly that reason. This seems counterintuitive for an industry that can broadly classify its products as “low-input.” Therefore, to be as informed about food options as possible, it is important to first understand the real restrictions of organic production.

I want to make it very clear that this blog is not anti-organic, as the ethos of organic production is very similar to regenerative agriculture: reduce external inputs wherever possible. Canada is not organic-averse either. While just looking at Saskatchewan figures, where there are no provincial organic regulations, one would assume organic is a venture from which farmers are deterred, as the provincial agricultural position in the organic space conceals the declining (but slowing) trend in certified farms. In reality, the number of organic acres across Canada has quadrupled since the turn of the century. In the last five years alone, the value of Canadian organic products has increased by 145%, which is used to suggest the high price organic products garner from the grocery store offsets the lower yield as a result of localized inputs. But it is not a stretch to suggest that the certification rigour may put farmers off from officially moving from a conventional to an organic operation.

Jatkoksi siksikin, että kirjoittajalla on selviä sympatioita regeneratiivista viljelyä kohtaan.

Sopusointu rakoilee:

Divide emerges between supporters of organic labels vs regenerative ag claims in battle for ‘sustainably-conscious’ consumers

Quote
USDA Certified Organic has taken a defensive position in recent years against the proliferation of eco-claims, many of which are not as comprehensive, clearly defined or held as rigorously accountable, but which nonetheless influence consumers’ purchase decisions.



At the Organic Trade Association’s annual conference in Washington… members debated the value and impact of eco-claims beyond organic to promote holistic change to agriculture systems and if or how organic should respond to simultaneously reinforce shared values without compromising its competitive edge.


“Eco labels … are everywhere. There are the old ones, like Organic and Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance, all the way around to regenerative, net zero, carbon neutral, and [claims about] plastics, fish and wildlife. Every week, every month there is a new label or new claim coming out,” Paul Schiefer, president of Amy’s Kitchen, told attendees at OTA’s conference.rganic labels vs regenerative ag claims in battle for ‘sustainably-conscious’ consumers

Ja siis luomuväki itse alkaa hermostua näistä monista nimistä.

Savonlinnassa halutaan asukkaille (turisteille?) kertoa tästä:

Tutustu Permakulttuuripuutarhaan ja Poimi Yrttejä

Quote
Olon puutarha rakentuu pitkäjänteisen ja luontoa kunnioittavan vision päälle. Permakulttuuri ja regeneratiivinen puutarhanhoito kukoistavat tämän esteettisen maailaisidyllin hengessä. Tule tutustumaan puutarhamme moniuloitteiseen kokonaisuuteen!

Kierroksella opit perusteet kestävästä puutarhoinnista ja omavaraisuudesta sekä pääset poimimaan itsellesi mukaan kimpun luomuyrttejä.

Huom! Tutustumiskierros on mahdollista yhdistää Olo Centerin aamupalaan, joka tarjoillaan alkaen kello 9.00 (ei sisälly hintaan - lisätiedot: https://www.olocentre.com/menu ).

Ei saada lukea kovin paljon. Mutta tässä taas kielteinen tulkinta regeneratiivisen viljelyaatteen vaikutuksesta:

Viewpoint: ‘Regenerative agriculture could be seen as a dangerous distraction from farmers’ core mission: Feeding the world’

Paul Driessen ei pidä näistä ideoista:

Viewpoint: Why is the World Economic Forum waging war against modern agriculture and hurting developing countries?

Quote
They say people in Africa, Asia and Latin America should practice subsistence farming – which they prefer to call “traditional” farming, Agro-Ecology, “food sovereignty,” or the “right to choose” “culturally appropriate” food produced through “ecologically sound and sustainable methods,” based on “indigenous agricultural knowledge and practices.”

In plain English, Agro-Ecology is rabidly opposed to biotechnology, monoculture farming, non-organic fertilizers, chemical pesticides, and even mechanized equipment and hybrid seeds.

Artikkeli pureutuu tähän väitteeseen regeneratiivisen viljelyn oletetuista eduista (ja keinoista):

Breakthough Institute: Are cover crops the silver bullet to reduce agricultural carbon emissions as regenerative-farming enthusiasts claim? Time for a rethink

Suoraan sen johtopäätökseen:

Quote
The climate benefits of cover crops are generally overstated and overestimated. In many cases, paying farmers to plant cover crops has little to no climate benefit. Understanding the reasons why can help maximize the climate benefits of cover crop efforts and illustrates the need for greater support for other climate mitigation practices.

Jota artikkeli vielä tuonkin kappaleen jälkeen perustelee.

Driessen ei edelleenkään jaa uskoa tähän liikkeeseen:

Viewpoint: The agroecology movement is turning against technology in agriculture, and the poor suffer

Quote
Reinforcing this message, Stop Ecocide Now founder Jojo Mehta expanded on Greta Thunberg’s incendiary 2020 rant that “our house is on fire and you’re fueling the flames.” Farming is a “serious crime,” equal to “genocide,” Ms. Mehta told elites at the 2024 WEF meeting in Davos.

Their grasp of agriculture is epitomized by Michael Bloomberg’s suggestion that anybody can be a farmer: “You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, you add water, up comes the corn.”

Their hatred of biotech crops is intense and well-documented. But many also despise hybrid seeds. They want modern herbicides and insecticides banned, in favor of “natural” alternatives – which are often toxic to bees, fish, other animals and people and have not been tested for long-term harm to humans.

These agricultural anarchists also demand “natural” fertilizers, which typically provide a fraction of the nutrients that modern synthetic fertilizers do. At the very least, they want global organic farming, which would mean much lower crop yields per acre than conventional farming, and plowing many millions of additional acres of wildlife habitat and scenic land, to get the same amounts of food.

They say people in Africa, Asia and Latin America should practice subsistence farming – which they prefer to call “traditional” farming, Agro-Ecology, “food sovereignty,” or the “right to choose” “culturally appropriate” food produced through “ecologically sound and sustainable methods,” based on “indigenous agricultural knowledge and practices.”

In plain English, Agro-Ecology is rabidly opposed to biotechnology, monoculture farming, non-organic fertilizers, chemical pesticides, and even mechanized equipment and hybrid seeds.

Ja haljuilua "ruokasuvereniteetin" iskusanaa kohtaan:

Quote
You can imagine how Agro-Ecologists would react if African farmers wanted to assert their food sovereignty, self-determination and right to choose by planting biotech corn (Bt-corn), to get higher yields, reduce pesticide use, enjoy better living standards and send their kids to school. The agro-anarchists would vilify them as vile supporters of violence against women, land-grabbing corporations, mass expropriation of indigenous rights, genocide and other “crimes against humanity.”

Ei tule tässäkään yleisökirjoituksessa selväksi, miten asia eroaa luomusta:

Uudistava viljely on osa isompaa ruokajärjestelmän muutosta

Tällaiset yksityiskohdat vihjaavat siitä, että ei mitenkään (lihav. HJ):

Quote
[..] Sen aikaansaamiseksi mukaan tarvitaan kaikki toimijat aina politiikasta, ruokaketjun yrityksiin, kauppaan kuluttajiin ja viljelijöihin.

Yritykset voivat nopeuttaa ja skaalata muutosta esimerkiksi ostokriteereillä, lisähinnalla ja koulutusta tarjoamalla.[..]
