Traditional agriculture provides a meaningful opportunity to impact greenhouse gases and biodiversity. The agriculture ecosystem comprises land use\, crop production\, livestock and fisheries\, and the food supply chain. In this system lies meaningful\, measurable\, and sustainable regenerative applications that can greatly reduce the impact of agriculture on the planet. Farming data and smart technology solutions can combine to enable customers to make choices through market signals that can drive the industry to regenerative practices that both reduce atmospheric carbon\, increase resilience and biodiversity in our food systems\, and help improve farming profitability. Panelist from John Deere\, Land O’Lakes and the Farmers Business Network explore opportunities to lower carbon emissions\, improve biodiversity\, and increase the resilience of foods systems world-wide by digitally connecting it from soil to fork. \n\n\nRegistration and more event information can be found here.  URL:https://napa.350bayarea.org/event/better-food-less-carbon-in-the-new-digital-economy CATEGORIES:NCN Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://napa.350bayarea.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/2020.2.9_Kitchen_Climate_Change.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200820T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200820T200000 DTSTAMP:20260623T045021 CREATED:20200416T202046Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200417T211408Z UID:1892-1597946400-1597953600@napa.350bayarea.org SUMMARY:Napa Climate NOW!

Is the industry an example of community leadership\, manipulative greenwashing — or something in between? \nJoin us for a conversation with Derrick Hollie\, president of Reaching America; Jacqueline Patterson\, director of the NAACP Environmental and Climate Justice program; Ivan Penn\, alternative energy reporter with The New York Times; and Vien Truong\, director of climate justice for Tom Steyer PAC\, on hard truths about the energy industry next door. \nWe invite you to register for this free online event to receive an email with links to the livestream and a reminder to tune in. If you would like to help support production costs for this event\, you may make a donation when you register. There will be an opportunity to submit audience questions to panelists via our YouTube livestream chat box.

But what about the chronic condition of climate change? The resulting reduction in CO2 emissions from manufacturing and transportation has opened up a window to what a more sustainable world would look like if we took action to address climate change. When the danger of the current pandemic lifts\, will the world realize rallying to address climate change\, or will it return to business-as-usual? \nOur panel of experts will discuss how COVID-19 is impacting climate change and other social and economic systems the globe depends. Now more than ever\, there is a need to think bigger\, bolder. Billions of people making trillions of decisions got us to the situation we’re in today. Can people get us out of it\, too? \nWe’ll cover: \n\nWhat we can learn from COVID-19 response to better inform how we advocate for climate change\nHow to challenge the power of collective action for the climate crisis\nHow can we advance short-term tactics for resilience and mitigation\, but look at the larger context.\nHow to sustainability navigate the world of single-use protective equipment\n\nWe hope that this event will offer the space to reflect on your routine and nudge you to think bigger to take bolder climate action. \nWe’re also encouraging members and our WCS community to share photos and articles of how COVID-19 is impacting climate change. Tag your posts with #WCSEarthDay so we can share with each other. \nSpeakers include: \n\nChristian Roselund\, Editorial Director\, Rocky Mountain Institute who recently wrote the op/ed COVID-19 and Climate: Risk\, Mitigation\, and Resilience\nAlisson Paradise\, CEO and Founder\, My Green Lab\nSanchali Pal\, Founder and CEO\, Joro\,\n\nAgenda: \n5:00 Welcome\n5:05 Opening remarks\n5:10 Panel questions\n5:45: Q&A from audience using zoom chat\n5:55 Closing statement \nRefunds available up to 24 hours before the event. \nAll genders welcome \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Christian Roselund\, Editorial Director at Rocky Mountain Institute \nPrior to joining RMI\, Christian wrote about solar energy\, energy storage and the energy transition for a decade\, most recently leading the U.S. project of global solar trade publication pv magazine.
