Organic farming can reverse the agriculture ecosystem from a carbon source to a carbon sink


it's good to get some scientific studies showing what we've been saying all along

I'd say that depends on the type of organic farming going on. Geoff Lawton has a good video on it. An organic farm that acts like a commercial one but without chemicals....still not good.

The way I look at it, carbon-dioxide is a fertilizer for plants. I think that for best performance I'd want more carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere. Warmer temperatures are beneficial for my garden because the plants grow quicker. During El nino years when the Southern Pacific is warmer I tend to get more rainfall during my growing season. Seems like an all around good thing for me to not sink carbon.
