  • Allan explains why managing agriculture holistically is imperative, and why livestock - properly managed - are essential to regenerative agriculture globally. Based on experience gained on continents with harsher environments and economies, he will share ideas that can help UK farmers thrive.

    Only 4,625 views...too bad. This video/talk covers some things not really covered quite in others I've seen, and some more in depth, and just all around a really great one as to why we need H.M.G. as opposed to plain rotational grazings plans or even all these other variants. Why it matter to at least really, truly know & understand these differences, evn for those of us who live in humid climates where the damage is slower & less obvious. Thank You Allan. As a former dairy farmer w my family here in hilly western WI, I am SOOOOO in love with this knowledge & it means so much to me. I can't even comprehend how much it must mean to someone in a desertified land or britttle enviroment. Thanks, thanks !

    How can anyone question him or call him out on his ignorance.
    It was his ignorance that brought him to cull 40,000 elephants and his life's work has been to correct that mistake.
    It's not a theory, he has applied his research and produced physical results globally.
    When technology fails isn't the best option to mimic nature?!

    He mostly dodged the vegan question, but I think what he has achieved in his work clearly shows that humans and livestock have an important relationship, and the plant diet thing comprises many different layers of quackery pushed by the different plant diet promulgators, eg plant diet athletes, vegan climate activists, vegan animal rights lovers, vegan greenies, etc.

      Savory talks about vegans here. He said in this interview from 14:45:
      "The vegans motives are absolutely right, I dont fault their motives and I share their motives. And they are absolutely right, if they would condemn the management of livestock."

      @@Gustav4 I followed the linked time, I couldnt see any specific mention of the vegan/plant based diet issue.
      I find the quote a bit ambiguous also.
      I find the plant based diet movement to be radical and biased. They put out shows like the one on netflix that are just based on junk science.
      As to Savory, the unfortunate thing about his work is that there isnt enough empirical evidence on the system, the theory is great, the arguments are persuasive, the evidence is lacking. And its the evidence that will make the ag science practitioners integrate it into their practice.

    I’d like to know Allan’s thoughts on a news story that I heard today (16/8/18) apparently Zimbabwe is in need of food aid, I’m not being deliberately vague, I only caught part of the story.
    I’m pretty sure this is a first for Zimbabwe and I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the successful and efficient farmers of generations and generations have been forcefully removed from their farms in a bid to “give the land back” to “the people”

      There's a very obvious correlation. Independently of any secondary discussion, be it race or who's right or wrong and so on.
      After all, with the removal of the farmers, the well oiled machine add an important cog removed. So the entire machine pretty much came to an alt. This is not even a surprise. Same happened in South Africa, Mozambique, Angola and so on. It as been a constant in all similar cases.

    What makes Humans possibly think they can digest vegan .
    With out zinc from meat 🍖 the human stomach cannot metabolise zinc or any other vitamin or mineral a zinc from any food ..
    Making the human digestive systems completely dependent on zinc from meat to start perpetual digestive prosess with the human amazingly limited digestive system .
    Herbivores on the other hand have six SEPERAT stomachs for digestion vegetables ..!
    There you have it in a nutshell the human metabolism is designed for meat only like the wild dogs and the wolves predators to the herds ..!

      Yes, eat lower and lower on the food chain by encroaching on countless other species' habitats, that is a perfect example of vegan incoherence and ignorance....or learn how ecosystems actually function and act appropriately...but warning, it does not lead anyone toward veganism. Here's a simple example: if all wolves became "vegan" how many of other species would they start to displace due to intensifying habitat and niche competition lower and lower on the food chain? And would that reductionion of functional diversity be good for the ecosystem?
