@GabrielPopkin @washingtonpost @HarborviewFarms @DavidLeZaks @TSearchinger @EricToensmeier Not mentioned in this article is that in order for the stored soil carbon to be released, a farmer would have to revert to a less profitable approach that requires exposure to toxic chemicals. How likely is that to occur?

‘Insecticide treated cornfields showed higher pest abundance, than untreated regenerative cornfields’. Just one of the highlights in this @thePeerJ article https://t.co/F9lquQ8Ru0 #letnaturedothework #regenerativeagriculture
Regenerative farming yields less grain. Because regenerative organic farmers do not spend money on toxic chemical inputs, their profits are higher. Tell farmers they can be more profitable with regenerative organic farming. https://t.co/WrzIhgU8hC https://t.co/vhSjsiwsBH
@PatrikErdes Do you instead mean to ask, who will make money from drawing down carbon? Regenerative agriculture is PROFITABLE.

Why Regenerative Farming? New studies show it is more efficient and profitable. Decades of scientific studies show that chemicals used in conventional farming put farmers, consumers, and wildlife at risk. Ask your farmers to switch to regenerative farming. https://t.co/WrzIhgU8hC https://t.co/M8xZicGNVr
