9. Reports Show 159M Lbs. of Monsanto’s Roundup™ in 2012
Food & Water Watch found that the “total volume of glyphosate applied
to the three biggest GE crops — corn, cotton & soybeans — increased 10-
fold from 15 million pounds in 1996 to 159 million pounds in 2012.”

15. FAT = Master Nutrient for
Long Term Health
Avoid soy, corn & canola oils

25. What is Synthetic Biology?
“Extreme”
genetic
engineering
Artificially
constructing
genetic material
– DNA
Create entirely
new forms of life
26. Ecover & Synbio Algal Oil
Not Natural
• Trialed new extreme
genetically engineered
oil in the UK
• Far from natural or
sustainable
27. Rodale Institute: Down-to-Earth
Solution to Climate Change
Sequester
100%+ of CO2
emissions
“Regenerative
Organic
Agriculture”
Maximize
carbon fixation,
minimize loss of
carbon once
returned to soil
Reverse the
Greenhouse
Effect
Organically
managed soils
can convert
carbon CO2 from
a greenhouse gas
into a food-producing
asset
28. Greenhouse Gas Emissions
~50% emitted
via agriculture
Largely
attributable
to animals &
Nitrogen
Fertilizers
92.5% of farm
& is devoted
to animal
production
• emits by far the
most GHGs
29. Greenhouse Gases
Just 3 gases account for
90% of all US emissions
Carbon
dioxide
CO2
Methane
CH4
Nitrous
oxide
N2O

33. Steps to Strengthen the Humus-sphere
Grow green
cover crops
Make
compost at
home &
farm
Produce

Grow grass

Cultivate

34. Soil Pool as a Sink for Carbon
The soil pool is the most important sink for carbon
but is less than half as effective at storing it than it
could be. The same is true for the forests & scrub
lands.
Forests have been degraded or clear cut
Agricultural lands have been degraded or desertified
world-wide from poor management & industrial
farming production.
35. Dr. Rattan Lal, Esteemed Soil Scientist
“A mere 2% increase in
the carbon content of the
planet’s soils could offset
100% of all greenhouse
gas emissions going into
the atmosphere.”
36. Fertilizer Impacts on Water & Oceans
Synthetic Nitrogen fertilizer is
responsible for the nitrate
poisoning of two-thirds of the
U.S. drinking water supply.
Synthetic Nitrogen fertilizer is
the major cause of the 500
oceanic dead zones around
the world.
37. Acidification is Destroying Sea Life
“We can attribute
the problems in
the oyster
hatcheries to the
increased carbon
in the ocean.”
Terrie Klinger, Professor of Marine
Affairs, University of Washington
38. Stop the Ocean Genocide
The ocean is the
new dumping
ground – making it
acidic & endangering
sea life
40. The REAL Cost of Cheap Food
The cheapest food you
can buy is organic
nutrient-dense foods,
fresh produce, or
pastured meat, eggs &
milk.
You only pay for organic
once.
41. 1. “Cheap” food at supermarket =
down payment
2. Corn, cotton, soy, canola, rice,
wheat, & sugar receive 95% of all
farm subsidies = tax time
3. Chronic Disease heart, stroke,
cancer, diabetes, & obesity = food
related illness
4. Clean up drinking water, oceans,
atmosphere, farmland pollution =
global scale consequences
$ Cost of Chemical & GMO Food
We (consumer) pay 4 separate occasions for industrial GMO foods
42. What do we do?
Grow or purchase Organic
Stop our addiction to Nitrogen Fertilizer
Reduce meat/dairy consumption by 50%+
Switch from CAFO to pastured-based
Increase local food production
Select nutrient-dense vs. empty-calorie foods
Pay it forward & share this knowledge
