The threats are real and scientifically defined, and so are the solutions. The goal of the Forum is to contribute to the adoption of a holistic worldwide strategy to reverse the existential crises in the production of our food and the management of land and ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>The convenors explain that the 41st National Forum,\u00a0<em>Imperatives for a Sustainable Future<\/em>, offers us an opportunity to elevate our understanding of the petrochemical threats and the critical need to adopt practices and policies that eliminate one of the major sources of the problem, petrochemical pesticides and fertilizers. Among the significant changes that will be discussed is the need for an accelerated transition to organic land management, from agriculture, landscapes to playing fields, as part of a holistic strategy that recognizes the multidimensional nature of the problem and solution.<\/p>\n<p>A focus of the Forum is what Beyond Pesticides describes as two major imperatives for sustainability and a livable future that require community and decision maker understanding of and action on:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The threats to human health and ecosystems<\/strong>\u00a0and the dire consequences of inaction or measures that fall far short of what is necessary; and<\/li>\n<li><strong>The path forward to eliminate reliance on petrochemical-based products<\/strong>, including the constellation of toxic materials associated with chemical-intensive practices\u2014from food production to the management of homes, gardens, parks, and schools.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Session 1: October 30, 2024, 2:00 PM (Eastern time US)<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u202f<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Felix.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"183\" height=\"186\" \/>Felix zu L\u00f6wenstein, PhD<br \/>\n<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Forum Series begins with an agronomist who has been farming organically on his family farm in Germany since the 1990\u2019s, bringing a wealth of hands-on experience that informs the technical information that transformational change requires.
