Opportunity for Public Comments on Agro-Ecology & Soil Science

[ale...@organicconsumers.org]

‎The National Academies of Science is taking public comments on "scientific breakthroughs" in agriculture: 

http://nas-sites.org/dels/studies/agricultural-science-breakthroughs

They're holding a public meeting in DC on August 8. Rattan Lal is speaking on soil: http://nas-sites.org/dels/studies/agricultural-science-breakthroughs/town-hall/

Seems like a great opportunity to submit the latest findings in the fields of agro-ecology and soil ‎science.

I plan on submitting comments on behalf of the Organic Consumers Association and alerting our members to sign-on in support.

Please let me know what you all think.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know what we ended up doing with the NASEM public comment opportunity:

https://www.organicconsumers.org/newsletter/organic-bytes-558-how-we-end-factory-farming/freaky-future-food

There's still time to weigh in! You can vote for the submissions by Tim LaSalle, David Johnson and Richard Teague or submit your own.

And, there's probably still space at the Aug. 8th town hall where Rattan Lal is speaking. David & Richard will be giving public comments.

Thanks!

Alexis

Alexis,

I think this is a great idea.

Would you be willing to share the comments you prepare or accept sign-ons?

We will try to do something as well.

Lorette
