Fossil fuels and livestock grazing are often targeted as major culprits
behind climate change and desertification. But Allan Savory, cofounder
of the Savory Institute, begs to differ. The bigger problem, he warns,
is our mismanagement of resources. Livestock grazing is not
the problem; it’s how we graze livestock. If we don’t change
the way we approach land management, irreparable harm from climate
change could continue long after we replace fossil fuels with
environmentally benign energy sources.
Holistic management is a
systems-thinking approach for managing resources developed by Savory
decades ago after observing the devastation of desertification in his
native Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Properly managed livestock are
key to restoring the world’s grassland soils, the major sink for
atmospheric carbon, and minimizing the most damaging impacts on humans
and the natural world. This book updates Savory's paradigm-changing
vision for reversing desertification, stemming the loss of biodiversity,
eliminating fundamental causes of human impoverishment throughout the
world, and climate change. Reorganized chapters make it easier for
readers to understand the framework for Holistic Management and the four
key insights that underlie it. New color photographs showcase
before-and-after examples of land restored by livestock.
This
long-anticipated new edition is written for new generations of ranchers,
farmers, eco- and social entrepreneurs, and development professionals
working to address global environmental and social degradation. It
offers new hope that a sustainable future for humankind and the world we
depend on is within reach.
