I do treasure that you've added pertinent and rational commentary here though. Thank you!

To add to the important points you make: Not only does sustainable agriculture have a key role to play in the mitigation of climate change, it is also vital in ensuring helping poor farmers adapt to some of the worst effects of climate change. Sustainable farming practices are reducing farmers' vulnerability to poor rains. Composting and contour ridge marking, for example, increase the capacity of the soil to hold moisture. Meanwhile seed saving and crop diversification reduce farmer reliance on a single crop, essential given the fact that certain crops are less resistant to extreme weather conditions such as drought.
