Occupy the Farm rallies against land development

Excerpts:

Protesters met at the UC Gill Tract Community 
Farm in Albany to rally against the development 
project and the June court decision. Overseen by 
the UC Berkeley College of Natural Resources, the 
project would include senior housing and a 
Sprouts Farmers Market - along with other smaller 
retail stores - in a vacant lot next to a 
university-owned research field.

"This land here is pretty much priceless as a 
source of being able to provide nutritious, 
healthy food for the people in the Bay Area," 
said David Piller, an Oakland resident. "It just 
seems really irresponsible and short-sighted to 
turn it into anything other than a source for 
food for the community."

"Fossil-fuel use and greenhouse-gas emissions are 
growing worldwide. Yet many scientists say deep 
emissions cuts are necessary Š to prevent Š 
dangerous consequences of global warming. Getting 
from here to there would require a massive 
economic shift."

"What does all this imply for corporate boards? 
It may mean that it is time to put 
climate-related issues on the board agenda (if 
they are not there already). These discussions 
are most effective when integrated into a 
company's strategic planning sessions. In its 
oversight role, the board should expect 
management to assess climate-related risk the 
same as it does any other significant risk ...  "
