#14 - The Eco-Credit Solution: Ben Dobson, Ronnie Cummins, Andre Leu, Carolyn Suggate and Greg Paynter

The global best practice model for funding and scaling up regenerative and organic food and farming comes to us from Australia, which has more organically certified farmland and pastureland than any other nation in the world. Veteran organic farmers in Australia have come up with an alternative solution to the global fraud of carbon trading and carbon credits, and corporate greenwashing. They call their new system, which we at OCA and Regeneration International believe is a global game-changer, “Organic Eco-Credits.” In this video, Ben Dobson of the Hudson Carbon Project and Ronnie Cummins, international director of the Organic Consumers Association and Regeneration International steering committee member, discuss the need for Organic Eco-Credits in North America. Then Regeneration International Director, Andre Leu, interviews two leaders, Carolyn Suggate and Greg Paynter, of Australia’s new organization, the Organic and Regenerative Investment Coop (ORIC).
