Sustainable farming and local food production are actually cooling down the earth. Peasant agriculture allows carbon to be sequestrated in soils and uses less fossil fuel-based machines and chemical inputs. Moreover if we eat local, less energy is used to ship food around the planet. Given the huge impact of industrial agriculture on greenhouse gas emissions, a massive conversion from industrial monocultures to small-scale sustainable agriculture and the development of local markets would actually allow a massive reduction of all greenhouse gases."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderclimate changeclimate ethicsfood ethicsfood aidemissionsgreenhouse effectnatural resourcesenvironmentPolitical ethicsEnvironmental ethicsDevelopment ethicsResources ethicsEthics of global commonsCopenhagen La Via Campesina joins the mobilisationsPreprint
