Too bad you can't watch it, it's a pretty good film.
It is all about organic farming with no mention of TP. They state that their research has shown that organic farming methods have reduced soil CO2 emissions by over 20%. They explain that when soil is heavily tilled, as in conventional farming, it exposes the organic material and C to more O2 that causes more CO2 to be emitted by the soil. The practice of winter cover crops and no-till or little-till practices ensure that more C is locked in the soil year after year.
These findings coupled with TP offer growers an even better edge for battling CO2.
I haven't searched through the site, but it was the Rodale Institute that did all the research.
