Cows, trees, and climate change
To stop climate change, we’re advised to become vegans and plant a trillion trees. But livestock and herds of big herbivores may be essential to keep the Arctic soil cold and prevent desertification of soils. And big animals may also do us a favour by destroying saplings in permafrost areas (including perhaps Canada’s boreal forest) where trees apparently warm the soil. Read (and comment on) Metta Spencer’s feature article here.

Towards a Regenerative Agriculture
The fundamental shift between industrial and ecological farming is in the soil. Ecological farmers understand that soils are not just a substrate in which we stick a commodity crop “fed” by synthetic fertilizers, writes Jodi Koberinski. COMMENT
A Second Editorial: What about Radioactive Contamination?
Vastly more people have suffered or died from accidental exposure to radioactivity than the World Health Organization has disclosed. We need a global network of whistleblowers and victims who will tell the truth, writes Metta Spencer. COMMENT

Talk back: Commenting on articles
You can submit comments on selected articles during the current issue’s date-span (eg Oct-Dec 2019). We are using a slightly different article template for these articles; follow the links in the paragraphs above, or see this issue’s table of contents page to pass your judgment on current articles. Comments are moderated, so will not display immediately on the page.
If you want to discuss an earlier article with us, or if you would like to submit a letter to the editor for publication, you can write the editor directly.
The Peace Crossword
We have an archive of past and current Peace Crosswords on this site. Puzzles open in the free Litsoft program, which is an attractive and easy to use interface for solving puzzles. The puzzle homepage includes download links for the software: you can access it here.
If you’re a subscriber and prefer solving the puzzle on paper, you may want to use the software program to check your answers—no need for waiting until the next issue arrives in the mail!
