Calla Rose Ostrander is an expert on climate change policy and regenerative agriculture — and the place where those worlds meet. She offers a hopeful vision of how agriculture could transform from climate problem to solution.
And it’s not only a vision. It’s actually happening, thanks to
innovators like the Marin Carbon
Project, Fibershed, the Carbon
Cycle Institute, and the Natural Resources Conservation
Service— and many more.
This work offers us a different way of seeing the world, in which
trash and waste are reframed as nutrients, in which industrial
systems become living systems, and in which carbon emissions become
part of the carbon cycle. It’s also a world of strange bedfellows,
in which farmers, environmentalists, ranchers, bureaucrats, and
industrialists sit down together and talk about mutually beneficial
solutions.
