Dr. Fournier will guide us on a captivating journey, drawing from his recent experience as a sheep rancher in Southern Alberta, alongside his deep passion for history and earth science. He’ll challenge the skewed narratives surrounding modern farming, revealing their disconnect from reality. Our current way of life relies on the evolution of mechanized, energy-intensive, and highly productive farming practices over the 20th and 21st centuries. Highlighting zero-till methods and nitrogen fertilizers, he’ll showcase their role in boosting yields and drought resilience. Dr. Fournier aims to counter the risky Net Zero ideologies that threaten to undo humanity’s hard-won progress.
