CALGARY, Canada, June 5/PRNewswire/ --

- New Online Video: Soil: The Secret Solution to Global Warming

- Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser makes the case: shifting existing
subsidies to sustainable farming practices could offset England's greenhouse
emissions by 10%.

- Research shows organic farming increases the carbon uptake in soil by
up to 30% and improves the nutrient value of food, thus reducing healthcare
costs.

- Public invited to vote on policy proposal via online poll

Quantum Shift TV has proposed a government policy that could reduce
England's greenhouse emissions by 10%. In a short video addressed to Prime
Minister Blair, organic farmer Percy Schmeiser lays out the case. Shifting
existing agricultural subsidies to support sustainable farming practices
could annually sequester up to 56 million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere by
storing more carbon in the soil.

"If we farmers can do our important bit to solve global warming and at
the same time improve people's health, we want to do that," says Schmeiser.

Research by the U.S.-based Rodale Institute found that sustainable
no-till-farmed soil with winter cover crops holds up to 30% more carbon than
conventional agriculture. In turn the extra carbon in the soil increases food
nutrients, which could reduce healthcare costs by (pnds stlg)3.1 billion.
Crop yields were not affected and showed more resistance to unpredictable
weather patterns.

In an unusual move, the television network has proposed government policy
to the Prime Minister and has invited the general public to cast their vote
via an online poll at www.quantumshift.tv "Soil: The to Global Warming
addresses the number one and number two concerns of the English: It can be
executed at no extra cost, could lead to significant health care savings
and provides industry with time to reduce their emissions," says the
company's CEO, Hugo Bonjean.

Percy Schmeiser is the Canadian farmer who fought Monsanto to the Supreme
Court over its genetically modified seeds.
