全球粮食安全与营养论坛 (FSN论坛)

The cornerstone of modern society over the past 340 years has been financial banking, reflecting, the more you have, the more you contribute. The reality is contributing to the financial bank has actually drawn upon, close to the point of no return, the cornerstone Bank of Assets of mankind and all living matter Soil-Water-Vegetation-Atmosphere (SWVA).

Reality is, every aspect of our daily lives, directly and indirectly, we are drawing upon SWVA and have done so at the start of industrial revolution. It is now mandatory that, we view all forms of financial banking income be correlated to, the drawing-down of the bank of assets (SWVA).  Be it mining-petroleum-fracking, forestry harvesting, power generation, manufacturing transport include airlines, & farming drawing the carbon and elements from the soil into food on the table.

Based on my decades involved in lecturing and growing soil, soil-carbon and elements in deserts viewing firsthand anthropogenic poverty on all continents clearly a new global accounting balancing protocol is demanded.

Clearly scientifically proven SWVA is in overdraft. If we are to return the planet in full working order to the historians of tomorrow (who indeed have their pens poised) we need to act to avert the receiver Nature imposing serious hardships.

Based on hands on experience reversing deserts to grow soil food and fodder with dedicated vegetation sequesters mass volumes of CO2e and via the root systems manure become soil, soil-carbon and elements. Well planned and design under UNFCCC emissions all of the above can be offset at low to zero cost. Applying financial accounting terms meeting of the UNFCCC 100 year secure storage of CO2 the income outweighs all the profit of all the above.

Addressing Climate Change is the greatest business opportunity ever and it is perpetual. Bottom line well planned there is more returns saving the Planet than stripping it!
