La agricultura industrial es un importante motor del cambio clim\u00e1tico. Sin embargo, la Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental no ha tratado a la industria como el contaminador clim\u00e1tico que es. Es por eso que FarmSTAND (anteriormente el Proyecto de Alimentos de Public Justice) lider\u00f3 a 25 grupos ambientalistas, de justicia clim\u00e1tica y de comunidades rurales que representan a m\u00e1s de 2,4 millones de miembros para presentar una petici\u00f3n<\/a> instando a la EPA de Biden a cumplir con sus compromisos clim\u00e1ticos y de justicia ambiental. La EPA debe regular las emisiones de metano de las operaciones industriales porcinas y lecheras y rechazar el gas de las granjas industriales como una falsa soluci\u00f3n.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La petici\u00f3n exige que la EPA proteja la salud p\u00fablica, las comunidades rurales y nuestra tierra, aire y agua mediante la inclusi\u00f3n y regulaci\u00f3n de las operaciones lecheras e porcinas industriales bajo la secci\u00f3n 111 de la Ley de Aire Limpio. Como fuentes principales del supercontaminante metano, las instalaciones industriales de cerdos y ganado lechero representan ahora el 33 por ciento de las emisiones agr\u00edcolas de metano, el 13 por ciento de las emisiones totales de metano de EE. UU. y el 1,3 por ciento de las emisiones totales de gases de efecto invernadero de EE. UU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gr\u00e1fico<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La industria afirma tener una \u2018soluci\u00f3n\u2019 para las emisiones de metano: el gas de las granjas industriales, o el llamado \u2018biog\u00e1s\u2019. Esta tecnolog\u00eda captura las sucias emisiones de metano de las lagunas de esti\u00e9rcol y las vende como energ\u00eda. Sin embargo, el gas de las granjas industriales no es una soluci\u00f3n para la justicia ambiental ni para el clima.<\/strong> El gas de las granjas industriales afianza el sistema de producci\u00f3n sucia que caus\u00f3 el problema en primer lugar: demasiados animales en un terreno peque\u00f1o. La tecnolog\u00eda sobrecarga a las comunidades rurales vecinas<\/a>, que a menudo son comunidades predominantemente negras y marrones, con tuber\u00edas sucias adem\u00e1s de la contaminaci\u00f3n del agua y del aire en aras del lucro empresarial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La ganader\u00eda basada en pastos es la mejor manera de reducir las emisiones. Mejora la salud del suelo, captura carbono de la atm\u00f3sfera y mantiene el aire y el agua limpios en favor de la justicia ambiental y las comunidades rurales. Nos llevar\u00e1 mucho m\u00e1s lejos que invertir en un plan ideado por corporaciones para hacerse ricas a costa de un problema que ellas mismas crearon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
