About Savory Institute:
Loss of grasslands leads to climate change, floods, droughts, famine, and worldwide poverty. It’s our mission to promote large-scale restoration of the world’s grasslands through Holistic Management.
Holistic Management is a process of decision-making and planning that gives people the insights and management tools needed to understand nature: resulting in better, more informed decisions that balance key social, environmental, and financial considerations.
This should have 10 billion views. Everyone should have intimate knowledge about the importance of this.
Wonderful to see.
These cutting edge farmers just grab a problem by both ears, examine the obvious solutions and run with it, reaping enormous success while the struggling farmers here in Europe, with all their technology, massive state of the art dairies and all their knowledge and inputs do nothing but run crying to the government and yammer about how bad they have it. And the taxpayer here keeps having to pick up the tab for the complete failure of our forms of 'agriculture'. In my area i don't see any of this and none of the related techniques like covercropping. You should see the soil here after the mass introduction of silage corn about 30 years ago. It litterally makes me cry, looking at it. It's pretty much all we seem to grow here now next to cowless haypastures and permanent pastures of hobby farmers where the poor things just stand around for 3-6 months, grazing in their own manure, kicking up dust. Corn, hay, corn, corn, hay, as far as the eye can see, as far as the view is not blocked by 3 meter high corn. Even the stubble often doesn't make it through winter because fall plowing is still common practice here. Insane... Please, Savory institute. Save Europe from 'death by corn'. It will not be long before our land follows the same fate. No matter how resilient it seems to be. It is a downright, continent wide, fertillity and soil carbon mining operation.
I watched a video the other day of an American Farmer talking about Regenerative farming. He said he grew up on a Farm, and his Parents were successful Farmers. Yet when he went to college his education taught him they were doing it all wrong. College convinced him that they needed to start using antibiotics and chemicals which his Parents didn't do. He almost lost everything farming the conventional way. Guess his "Old Fashioned" "outdated" Parents were more Right than his college Professors. By doing things the Regenerative way he's been able to stay in business and provide a better life for his Family. And in the Process provide better quality food. I also like watching Greg Judy out of Missouri.
Two very smart leaders in organic/sustainable agriculture have discussed this issue for years.
“As the small trickle of results grows into an avalanche - as is now happening overseas - it will soon be realized that the animal is our farming partner and no practice and no knowledge which ignores this fact will contribute anything to human welfare or indeed will have any chance either of usefulness or of survival.” Sir Albert Howard
"The first duty of the agriculturalist must always be to understand that he is part of nature and can not escape from his environment." - Sir Albert Howard
"Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted & thoughtful observation rather than protracted & thoughtless labor; & of looking at plants & animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single-product system." Bill Mollison
It is refreshing to see that Savory is yet another influential force in the movement to halt the destructive nature of conventional agriculture by changing the model to one that understands the importance and nature of animal impact in agriculture.
Wonderful Work
