"There are few challenges more critical to the future viability of human and in fact most life on this small planet than getting how we feed ourselves right - and ensuring agroecological regenerative farming, such as organic, is applied everywhere will be key to that goal. Without changing the way we farm and so the way we feed ourselves, we will continue to deplete the ecosystems on which we depend for food, water, air and we will not achieve the vital climate mitigating and adaptation we need in our land bases sectors. This is a key part of ORC's role, building the research and knowledge exchange on all parts of the system - from soil to supply chains and policy to pollination- and is critical, so I hope I can help."
