i think the agriculture piece is good from a policy perspective regenerative agriculture, no till, cover all the things that we're talking about here. the nk it is essential for environment, it's essential for us to meet the goals we have. carbon neutral but reversing climate change. to have a robust agriculture piece and talking ive -- we were earlier, it's not because i'm picking this over that. working.use it's it's already happening. we're already seeing, when i go new hampshire, wherever i trav i try to stop at regenerative doing agriculture, bringing local press, doing social media, doing of this, so well can continue to let people know to move is the way forward. that farmers, and here's the that farmers, , some who don't even think that caused by issue is man, still want to do regenerative agriculture because want to sequester carbon and increase organic material nto the soil, so that they don't have to use as many pesticides, and they can make money. so i don't care what they believe if what they want to do sequester carbon and reduce pesticide use and reduce fertilizer, because

agriculture because all of the farmers up here were all taro farm us. so we all had to work hard we all had to respect each other the foul use that were given to us by our family he taught you all just things that you need in your life to survive if i was raised by immigrant grandparents they talked me to a priest. he. has given me. but some of reduce. the establishment of a large sugar plantations was kind of the colonial force that really pulled these islands into the chains of global capital agricultural production and left behind a legacy of consolidated land ownership control over water rights and really that this and franchise men and marginalization of indigenous people and their homeland . my home is located in a while called white in a place known as kick off on the west side of i 6 years ago i was awarded hawaiian homestead the mixed blessing was that i had annoyed what i would be surrounded by a few years after moving to that neighborhood in the late 1980 s. with a lot of the sugarcane plantations shutting down and with economy overly depende

happened with why i'm in middle school was particularly egregious the state of hawaii department of agriculture does not do it sharp with respect to investigating complaints about pesticide drift and for years this is been the case it doesn't monitor the air it doesn't monitor the water it doesn't monitor the soil to make sure that pesticides are not leaving the fields and going into where people live and play and work. as a mom i think about what would i do if i had to send my child to school every day alongside a field where i knew they were spraying pesticides but i didn't know when and i didn't know what. we require our kids to go to school why don't we require these companies to at least inform the parents or the school administrators what they're spraying when and where. so we started to ask questions like well what chemicals are they spray how do we manage runoff. e-mail to gary who is are asking him about it what we can do what how we could start a bill to get these chemical companies regulated so we can put a stop to it or at least find out what's going on this was a group of young peo

piecek the agricultural is good. regenerative agriculture,, cover crops, all the things we're talking about here. at i think it's essential for the environment. goingessential, not just carbon neutral, but reversing climate change. gary and i were talking about this earlier. is working. it's already happening. when i go to new hampshire or were ever i travel, i try to stop at a farm that is doing social media. so we can let people know this is the way to move forward. that farmers, some of whom do not even think the climate issue is caused by man, still want to do regenerative agriculture because they want to sequester carbon and increase organic material into the soil so they do not have to use as many pesticides and they can make more money. i don't care what they believe if what they want to do is sequester carbon and reduce use and nitrogen and fertilizer because we are destroying the environment and so much of this has to do with what is happening on the farms. you go to places like iowa. you saw what was happen
