    When someone's speech led us to think deeply, this person has certain levels of wisdom.
  • @oceanwonders
    THIS IS SO GOOD! I think he connects with audiences because the way he speaks is just so authentic. It's very clear that he is not making this about himself. That he is passionate about making a last difference to the whole world.

  • Great stuff. Should be required reading for everyone-everywhere.
  • I am nobody and knows nothing...BUT what I do know is ; If you leave a house unattended, "uninhabited" it will decay and die. SO.....????????
  • in Villa jimenez muchoacan place called LA CIÉNAGA, they used to let the cattle eat the stalks of corn after harvest, and no fertilización was necesary; now after they baned the cattle, they have to use fertilización on the land.
  • The plow is killing the soil, crimp over the cover crop and no-till
  • I live in South Africa in 2018,...and I am ashamed. I am sorry SIR.

    The trees are critical in bringing up nutrients from deep in the soil and they provide important shade for animals. Trees also help reduce wind speeds. So a combination of livestock with the grasses, trees and shrubs completes the ecosystem.

    Stopping putting CO2 in the atmosphere will work against this mission to save the planet, the new and expanding grasslands and forests that we desire feed on it. Take out other pollutants but I wouldn't worry about CO2, life on this planet requires it and grows better with more of it. It will help to recover the deserts too!

    I love Alan Savory and his amazing courage and conviction. I am 100% convinced he is right because long ago I recognized the desertification across the globe, in exactly the places where he shows it happening.. But there is one thing I fear I will never understand about his theories. There isn't enough vegetation on those desert lands to feed 4 cows. So how in heck is a herd of 1000 cattle supposed to survive while waiting for the land to recover and become thriving grassland? In order to find enough to eat, a herd like that would have to be so spread out there wouldn't be 2 cattle per square mile. How is that considered "herding"? How could we expect to get 1000 head of cattle all "bunched up in a herd" when there isn't enough food per square mile to feed 4 of them? They would spread out in every direction looking for something to eat, would they not? Looking at the opposite, let's say we put those same 1000 head of cattle on a fully lush healthy grassland. With all that food available, what in the world would keep them moving as a herd? Why would they move like a herd when there is all that food available, everywhere? They would spread out all over half the nation if all that healthy grassland was available, would they not? I know Alan Savory is right, but I there is a piece of information I am clearly not understanding. This apparent conflict in my mind about Mr. Savory's theories is driving me nuts. I want to understand it.
  • Allan Savory: "He advocated for slaughtering large numbers of elephants up until 1969 based on the idea that they were destroying their habitat.[16][17] His research, which he claims was validated by a committee of scientists, led to the government culling approximately 40,000 elephants in following years. However, this did not reverse the degradation of the land. He has called the decision to advocate for the slaughter of large numbers of elephants "the saddest and greatest blunder of my life."
  • Is it just me, I’m having a difficult time wrapping my brain around the difference between rotational grazing and planned grazing? Allan doesn’t seem to ever explain it.

    This is my kinda potatoes: A must watch: Wholistic agriculture, Wholistic thinking. Hence Co-operative Careship. In the living plan for Co-operative Socialism.
  • Why aren't the governments of every country touting this man to their citizens? Stop legislation, educate the citizenry, and let them start working on fixing this $h!t.

    The assumption that biological problems can't be solve with technological solutions without problems as a consequence further down the line, seems to me to be wrong.
  • @prayerangel1
    Sad that a man so wise about soil and grasses can still be so ignorant about our origins. Love the holistic management and have been preaching it myself for many years now, but still sad to see someone so far off the mark as to call humans apes.
