2010 Conference
The Quivira Coalition's Annual New Agrarian Conference
November 10-12th\, 2010\, in Albuquerque\, New Mexico

\\"The Carbon Ranch\: Fighting Climate Change through Food and Stewardship\\"

Climate change is the most pressing issue confronting humanity. It is also a tremendous opportunity. Right now\, the only possibility of large-scale removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere is through plant photosynthesis and other land-based carbon sequestration activities. Strategies include\: enriching soil carbon\, farming with perennials\, employing climate-friendly livestock practices\, conserving natural habitat\, restoring degraded watersheds and rangelands\, and producing local food. Over the past decade\, many of these strategies have been demonstrated to be both practical and profitable. A carbon ranch bundles them into an economic whole with the aim of creating climate-friendly landscapes that are both healthy ecologically and the source of healthy food. In this conference we will explore this exciting new frontier and learn from `carbon pioneers' from around the world.
