Climate Change – Who’s To Blame? All People Who Walk The Earth! The Farmers Are Lucky, As They Can Do Regenerative Agriculture To Regenerate Their Lives – If We Teach Them How!

Why does Climate Change happen? Even if they don’t know, the farmers have to contribute to the fight – they are causing much climate damage by their farming systems of chemical agriculture!

On Facebook 30 July 2025, Climate Change shares this info:

“The richest 1% of the global population are responsible for more carbon emissions than the poorest 50% combined.”

Yes! The rich are guiltier of the Crime of Climate Change! What about the farmers? Wikipedia says (30 July 2025, en.wikipedia.org):

The amount of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is significant: The agriculture, forestry and land use sectors contribute between 13% and 21% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Surprised? If you trample the Earth, you are also contributing to Climate Change even if you don’t know or realize it! (image from Pixabay, pixabay.com)

No, farmers would contribute zero to Climate Change if they practised Regenerative Agriculture (RA). Yes, with RA, they would become much richer than they are now – instantly!

And there is a farmer surprise from RA – every single time a farmer practices RA, he’s a winner! These RA practices have very low costs and therefore very high returns:

(1) Cover Cropping,
(2) Crop Rotation,
(3) Farm Crops + Tree Crops (Agroforestry),
(4) Green Manuring,
(5) Intercropping,
(6) Multiple Cropping,
(7) No-Till Farming,
(8) Organic Fertilization,
(9) Ratooning,
(10) Rotational Grazing,
(11) “Three Sisters” Planting,
(12) Trap Cropping, and
(13) Trash Mulching.

With RA, farming is no longer a crime against humanity – it’s a boon for all mankind! If only for these 2 reasons: (1) RA’s very low cost (VLC) and (2) RA’s very high returns (VHR). In high contrast, Chemical Agriculture is VHC and VLR.

Consider: Urea per sack, PhP3,000 (May 2022 (Business Mirror, businessmirror.com.ph). Now then, if you did not use any chemical fertilizer, you could save so much money!

So we go back to any and all of the Regenerative Agriculture practices.

(1) Cover Cropping: Another crop completes soil cover.
(2) Crop Rotation: Next crop is leguminous.
(3) Farm Crops + Tree Crops (Agroforestry).
(4) Green Manuring: First crop enriches the soil.
(5) Intercropping: 2 crops are better than 1.
(6) Multiple Cropping: More crops are better than 1!
(7) No-Till Farming: You don’t cultivate the soil.
(8) Organic Fertilization: Apply organic fertilizer.
(9) Ratooning: The ratoon is your “2nd crop”.
(10) Rotational Grazing: Patches take turns feeding cattle.
(11) “Three Sisters” Planting: Literally 3 crops.
(12) Trap Cropping: One crop harbors the enemy.
(13) Trash Mulching.
Surface materials enrich soil.

If you notice, in Regenerative Agriculture, with any of those 13 practices, you are literally all over the place! You will want to visit your farm every single time to see what’s happening!

Well, any and all those 13 practices work up the soil naturally so that richness is reached at any time and all the time.

Unending returns to natural richness is the unique promise of Regenerative Agriculture – zero in Chemical Agriculture!@517
