In some cases an irrigation system (temporary or permanent) or enhanced drainage system should be considered to reduce stress conditions on the plants and to improve soil biology. Although we are able to Gen-manipulate plants for better yield, more pest resistant, and for more stress resistance, but the nature’s laws won’t change.

You’re breaking the law, at least in Vermont. The Green Mountain State is the first state to pass a law requiring businesses and residents to compost. When all of this old food hits the landfill, it decomposes slowly and produces the powerful greenhouse gas methane. It is counting on voluntary compliance.

A useful way to think about the effort and timescales required is to consider the " Carbon Law ," which was coined by my friend Johan Rockström. Despite the name, this isn’t a physical "law" of the universe but rather a set of recommendations. So, what does the Carbon Law say? The Carbon Law outlines a possible path forward.

The use of these chemicals also damages the environment in other ways; much of the fertilizer used in the world today is the product of methane gas, a fossil fuel, while the wide-scale use of pesticides has been linked to the damage of ecosystems and vital populations of pollinators.

It’s the work of some leading players in this area: ReFED, a nonprofit that works on food waste; WWF; Natural Resources Defense Council; and Harvard’s Food Law and Policy Clinic. The current situation is insane: Organic waste is the single biggest input in landfills, where it produces the potent greenhouse gas methane as it decomposes.

Soil degradation. Lab-grown meat dramatically cuts back on carbon emissions , methane emissions, water consumption and land use. The rules are so strict, that some cheeses that we have been eating for centuries would have been banned under these laws. The beauty of this type of agriculture, is that it does not require soil.

It is important to note that while natural gas carries a lower carbon dioxide footprint when compared to coal, it also results in methane leaks up and down the supply chain. Methane arguably wipes out the perceived benefit of gas over coal. The bill would shorten the timeframes that agencies have to conduct environmental assessments.
