Current Chemical “Agriculture”
contributes to “Climate Change”!
Truly, on one hand, we need
intelligent and diligent political leaders to craft national policies to solve
national problems. On the other hand, we need scientifically
aware media people to help solve Farmer
Poverty and resolve Climate Change.
Truly, Ma'am, it’s an uphill battle!

“Progressive Groups To Villar: Filipino Farmers And Fisherfolk Are Not
Ignorant” (21 Oct 2022, Manila Bulletin,
mb.com.ph):
In a public hearing
for the proposed 2023 budget for the Department of Agriculture (DA), on
Wednesday, Oct 19, Villar hinted that “farmers and fishermen do not understand
climate change.”
I agree
with you, Madam Senator! 100%.
Actually, in my digital search for knowledge for blogging (about
10 million words since 2000), I
know that I, agriculturist and advocate of “Primate
Change,” having followed the news on Climate Change since ex-US Vice
President Al Gore and the IGPCC
started the campaign and co-won the Nobel
Peace Prize in 2007 or 16 years ago – I estimate that 97% of people in the
Philippines – and elsewhere in the world – do not truly understand
Climate Change!
Considering that,
rather than “educating” the farmers directly on Climate Change, I strongly
recommend that we educate our people, starting with the Department of
Agriculture (DA) on the wide area of “Regenerative
Agriculture”(RA) – everyone would
be interested to find out how this kind of agriculture can solve Farmer Poverty and at the same time resolve Climate Change!
Practicing
RA, farmers will be happy to proceed with their farming at the minimum costs
and maximum returns, and at the same time reduce to zero the greenhouse gases
that their chemical fertilizers and pesticides are generating!
The
farmers are still insisting that the government grant their wishes – not
stopping themselves from practicing Chemical Agriculture (CA) that is the main
cause of Climate Change! So, how can the farmers deny that they are ignorant of
Climate Change?
The government has the right to demand that the farmers stop
applying chemical fertilizers and pesticides and start applying organic fertilizers
and organic pesticides. If they do neither of those, that definitely proves
that farmers are ignorant of Climate Change!
That
is why I am proposing right now that the Senate office of Senator Cynthia
Aguilar Villar provide funds for a massive Internet
Knowledge (iKnow) Program. Nationally,
iKnow will make available data & information via the Internet – and do active extension work – on Regenerative Agriculture. And yes, the Department
of Agriculture (DA) must have less politics and more science! The DA must actively
assist farmers in carrying out regenerative farming.
Madame Senator, we are not
getting younger. Meanwhile, we could deliver God’s Love by spreading the
“Gospel of Regenerative Agriculture.” Here I am, your “Regenerative Whisperer”!@517
