Podcast appearances and mentions of Allan Savory

Today's episode is the first in a special two-part series with a guest whose work has shaped the way millions think about land, livestock, and leadership. Allan Savory is a legend in the regenerative agriculture world—founder of the Savory Institute, developer of the holistic management framework, and a lifelong challenger of convention. From growing up in war-torn Rhodesia to commanding combat tracking units, and later reshaping global agricultural theory, Allan's story is as unconventional as it is urgent. As Allan says in today's episode: "Without agriculture, you cannot have a choir. You cannot have a church. You cannot have a university. You cannot have an economy. You cannot have a government. You cannot have an army. You cannot have anything. It is the very foundation of civilization." In Part 1, we cover his early military service, his time as a young wildlife ecologist tasked with protecting massive swaths of African rangeland, and the origin of holistic management—how it was born not from theory, but from a lifetime of ecological and military observation under fire. We also dive deep into how institutional ego, flawed beliefs, and academic dogma continue to stand in the way of solving global desertification and food insecurity. This isn't your typical ag conversation—and it's not meant to be. It's bold, unfiltered, and driven by a mission that started decades before most of us ever heard the word “regenerative.” Enjoy Part 1 with Allan Savory.

If you're new to the world of permaculture, you may not be familiar with the work of Dan Palmer, who passed away in 2022, as his website and podcast don't circulate or get mentioned as often as they used to. His website, makingpermaculturestronger.net, is still available, where you can explore his archives. I recommend taking the time to do so, as it's worth the journey. It's because of Dan, as the host of this episode, that I reshare this interview. With his gentle nature, his desire to go deeper into what made design and implementation more effective, and how he synthesized all that knowledge into something actionable, Dan was a positive voice for change to so many, including myself.

Welcome back, wine friends! In Part 2 of our journey through Chile's Maule Valley, we're staying put in the rugged, dry-farmed interior to uncover even more of its rich viticultural story. Returning guest Derek Mossman Knapp—co-founder of Garage Wine Co. and 2024 Old Vine Hero award winner—joins us again to spotlight Carignan (or “Cariñena”), a grape once overlooked in Chile that's now at the heart of a heritage-driven revival. In this episode, we dive into VIGNO, the groundbreaking collective Derek helped found, uniting passionate producers committed to old vine, dry-farmed Carignan. We explore how this movement is preserving tradition, terroir, and time through strict practices and deep respect for the land—and how it's putting some of Chile's most soulful wines on the global map. It's a rich, thoughtful conversation about legacy, collaboration, and the power of working with nature, not against it.   If you want to skip ahead: 02.40: Discussion of Carignan (Cariñena) and its role in the blend   04.27: Talking about and tasting the Cru Truquilemu 2019 -  Vin Coqnito £58 (2018) 06.00: Vineyards' inheritance history helps trace vineyard origins   07.30: Small batch fermentation methods and neutral barrels    09.30: The value of separating lots and testing over vintages   11.00: Growing interest in Cru wine due to critical acclaim      14.25: Discussion of the Empedrado DO; coastal freshness   16.01: Clarifying Maule's geography; part of Southern Chile   16.48: Climate differences in Maule vs. Santiago (seasonal shifts)    18.00: Alcohol and balance - challenging the UK's fixation on lower ABV and bottle weight   19.00: Regenerative viticulture - using compost teas, no-till methods, and soil health trials   21.00: Myth of poor soils - overstressed vineyards are being replanted before reaching full maturity   23.30: Vineyard revival - greener canopies, improved shading, and resistance to heat   24.07: Certification challenges - paperwork burden limits organic certification for small producers   25.00: Verification vs. certification; Allan Savory's philosophy on soil testing and real change   28.44: Is Carignan a “complete grape”, like Cabernet Sauvignon?

Today we conclude my conversation with Allan Savory.  It's a deeper dive into what Holistic Management really looks like… and what it isn't.  And, if it crosses your mind about creating a future or legacy for your family or ranch operation you will find our conversation extremely valuable.  Also does Holistic Management work with the principle of running your ranch like a business? This is the conclusion part of my conversation with Allan, and it is absolutely packed with pearls of wisdom. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Gelbvieh #Vigortone #Limousin #CalfCatcher #ambrook #HMS #climatechange 

Today we continue with Part 2 of my conversation with Allan Savory.  He is a firm believer that livestock MUST be a part of reversing what he fills is a threat to mankind… that being desertification.  Today our conversation leads us down the road of talking about climate change.  It is a topic that ranchers often feel they have to be defensive due to environmental groups placing blame on agriculture.  But what is Allan Savory's view on climate change and fossil fuels.  Then we'll start down the road in the conversation of understanding what truly is the meaning of Holistic Management.  #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Gelbvieh #Vigortone #Limousin #CalfCatcher #ambrook #HMS #climatechange 

My guest today is none other than Allan Savory.  A man who once despised livestock and now a fierce believer in the role of livestock to our planet. Today we hear the back story of what fuels his life's work and passion for helping ranchers through Holistic Management. Through his beliefs and stances on land management, climate change, and other issues, he's managed to frustrate both the extreme environmentalists as well as some in our ranching community.  So, if your good with status quo thinking, this show isn't for you. But if you want to be challenged... listen in today and the following shows as I share with you my conversation with Allan Savory. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Gelbvieh #Vigortone #Limousin #CalfCatcher #ambrook #HMS #climatechange #savoryinstitute

Dr. Salima Ikram is an Egyptologist and Archeologist. Thanks for joining Behind Greatness. We recorded this chat “coincidentally” on the opening day of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), October 16 2024. Salima graciously joined us from Cairo to have this conversation that day. Salima decided on Egyptology at age 8 and “hasn't grown up since”. We learn about experimental archeology, puppy farms, slavery, cattle vs elephants and Egyptian cocktails. Salima brings us through her fascination with mummification, felines and their majesty, “chatting with the dead” and how death is viewed in the East. And more… A fun, magical cat … uhm, we mean chat. Or do we? .

Regenerative ranching has recently gained traction across the main stream media but the idea of using  livestock to mimic nature and managing a landscape holistically was largely led by Allan Savory from the 1980s. Rich Bradbury' parents attended the Savory Institute in the 1980's which was when he was first exposed to the holistic approach that Allan Savory brings to ranching.  I recently caught up with Rich to hear how this has impacted his thinking and the way he manages his ranch to this day.Send us a text

Avram became wealthy, with much cattle, silver and gold. As he went on his travels from the Negev, he came to Beit-El, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beit-El and 'Ai, where he had first built the altar; and there Avram called on the name of Adonai.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2013%3A5-7&version=CJBAnchors of DisobedienceGenesis 13:5-7Lot, who was traveling with Avram, also had flocks, herds and tents. But the land could not support their living together, because their possessions were too great for them to remain together. Moreover, quarreling arose between Avram's and Lot's herdsmen. The Kena'ani and the P'rizi were then living in the land.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=genesis%2012%3A1-3&version=CJBG_d's first command to Avram.Genesis 12:1-3Now Adonai said to Avram, "Get yourself out of your country, away from your kinsmen and away from your father's house, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation, I will bless you, and I will make your name great; and you are to be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, but I will curse anyone who curses you; and by you all the families of the earth will be blessed."https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2013%3A8-9&version=CJBObedience Requires ActionGenesis 13:8-9Avram said to Lot, "Please, let's not have quarreling between me and you, or between my herdsmen and yours, since we're kinsmen. Isn't the whole land there in front of you? Please separate yourself from me — if you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left." https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2013%3A10-13&version=CJBParasites Seeking Greener GrassGenesis 13:10-13Lot looked up and saw that the whole plain of the Yarden was well watered everywhere, before Adonai destroyed S'dom and 'Amora, like the garden of Adonai, like the land of Egypt in the direction of Tzo'ar. So Lot chose all the plain of the Yarden for himself, and Lot traveled eastward; thus they separated themselves from each other. Avram lived in the land of Kena'an; and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, setting up his tent near S'dom. Now the men of S'dom were evil, committing great sins against Adonai.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2024%3A1&version=CJBIt all belongs to Adonai!Psalm 24:1The earth is Adonai's, with all that is in it, the world and those who live there;https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2013%3A14-17&version=CJBRecognized for ObedienceGenesis 13:14-17Adonai said to Avram, after Lot had moved away from him, "Look all around you from where you are, to the north, the south, the east and the west. All the land you see I will give to you and your descendants forever, and I will make your descendants as numerous as the specks of dust on the earth — so that if a person can count the specks of dust on the earth, then your descendants can be counted.

This week we are going to go through the planning and implementation of regenerative practices on a new piece of property.Bringing soil health to a new property not only brings new opportunity for agriculture, it also improves the quality of everything around, including your life. JJoin us live every Friday Night at 9pm EST (8pm CST, 7pm MST)Check out our websites:http://www.mibeneficials.comhttp://www.rubberduckyisopods.comhttp://www.okcalyxxshop.comTopics Discussed Tonight:1. Educate Yourself: Learn about regenerative agriculture principles and practices. There are many resources available, including books, online courses, and workshops. Some key figures in the field include Allan Savory, Gabe Brown, and Joel Salatin.2. Assess Your Land: Conduct a thorough assessment of your land. This includes soil testing to understand its current health, fertility, and structure. Observe the existing vegetation, water sources, and wildlife. Understanding your land's unique characteristics will help you make informed decisions.3. Plan Your Farm Design: Create a holistic farm plan that incorporates regenerative practices. This might include rotational grazing, cover cropping, no-till farming, agroforestry, and composting. Consider how different elements of your farm will interact and support each other.4. Build Healthy Soil: Focus on improving soil health through practices like cover cropping, adding organic matter, and reducing soil disturbance. Healthy soil is the foundation of regenerative farming and supports plant growth, water retention, and carbon sequestration.5. Implement Water Management Practices: Efficient water use is crucial. Implement practices like rainwater harvesting, building swales, and using drip irrigation to conserve water and improve its distribution across your farm.6. Promote Biodiversity: Encourage a diverse range of plants and animals on your farm. This can include planting a variety of crops, integrating livestock, and creating habitats for beneficial insects and wildlife. Biodiversity helps build resilience against pests and diseases.7. Use Livestock Wisely: If you plan to include livestock, use them as tools for land management. Practices like rotational grazing can help improve soil health, control weeds, and enhance nutrient cycling.

#165:  Allan Savory joins Dave for an eye-opening conversation about the best path forward for solving our most-crucial planetary problems and symptoms, including Climate Change, rapid loss of biodiversity, desertification, wildfires, and the inability of humans to act collectively and organizations to create impact. His views on the management of select grasslands to reverse course alone should grab the attention of environmental activists, government officials, parents, grandparents; really any Earthling.Allan appears in both session of our annual virtual symposium, which is available for instant access here:https://realorganicproject.org/symposium-2024/Allan Savory is the original spark for Holistic Management, an agricultural approach with a focus on moving grazing animals over pasturelands, as well as a life planning tool for individuals, families, farms, and organizations.

Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farminThe Real Organic Project Certification deadline for 2024 is 04/15/2024.

Antispécisme et écologisme sont perçus comme des mouvements très proches, qui parlent en partie des mêmes sujets, mais en fait pas toujours de la même manière ni avec les mêmes prismes d'analyse. Je suis convaincu que les deux ont beaucoup à s'apporter, et c'est un sujet qui me tient vraiment à coeur, mais ça demande parfois d'avoir des discussions honnêtes et un peu critiques. C'est le cas de cet épisode, qui vous allez l'entendre n'est pas toujours tendre avec la sphère écolo ; mais c'est fait avec amour, et c'est important de soulever ces critiques, d'autant qu'avec mon invité on a tous les deux la volonté d'ouvrir plus d'espaces de dialogue fructueux et bienveilants sur les rapports entre les deux mouvements.  Et cet invité n'est autre que Jean-Marc Gancille, que je reçois à l'occasion de la sortie de son dernier livre *Comment l'humanité se viande.

Nearly two-thirds of the planet is on the brink of desertification. Could this alarming trend be a driving force behind climate change? There's a prevailing notion that wild animals disrupt natural habitats, but what lessons were learned from the culling of 40,000 elephants? Did this drastic action alleviate the problem, or did it exacerbate the environmental crisis? What can each of us do about it? If you are not interested in climate change we can promise that there are a lot of life-lessons to be learned from this episode.   Allan had a famous TED talk back in 2013 and it has been seen almost 9 million times. He is also the founder of the Savory Institute.   Allan Savory is a Zimbabwean ecologist, farmer, and environmentalist, born on September 15, 1935. He is best known for developing the holistic management framework, an approach to managing resources such as land, livestock, and water in a sustainable and regenerative way.   Savory's holistic management emphasizes the interconnectedness of ecological, social, and economic factors in decision-making. One of the key principles is the use of properly managed grazing of livestock as a tool to restore and maintain healthy grasslands. Savory argues that well-managed grazing mimics the natural behavior of large herds of wild herbivores, contributing to soil fertility, biodiversity, and overall ecosystem health.   Enjoy

Eric Perner, a regenerative rancher himself, is the founder and CEO of REP Provisions, a direct-to-consumer brand that works with local regenerative farms and ranches to provide high quality, nutrient dense meats along with sauces that aren't filled with BS.Eric has an interested background being really involved in equestrian growing up, working in the energy industry and now going all in on regenerative agriculture.

André Marcel Voisin, born on January 7, 1903, in Dieppe, France, was a renowned French biochemist, farmer, and author. He is most famous for his groundbreaking work in developing the theory of Rational Grazing, also known as Voisinism, Voisin Grazing, or Rational Intensive Grazing. Voisin's theories and ideas on grazing practices have been widely acclaimed, leading to numerous lectures and the translation of his books into 18 different languages, with multiple reprints.Voisin's upbringing revolved around agriculture as his parents, Albert Voisin and Marie Antoinette Morthe Legendre, were established farmers and landholders. He began his primary and secondary education at the Jehan Ango school in Dieppe, starting in 1910, and later attended the prestigious Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris.After completing his military service with the French navy and graduating as a lieutenant in 1923, Voisin pursued a diploma in biochemistry from the School of Physics and Chemistry, école supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielles de la ville de Paris in 1924. Following his graduation, he initially worked as an engineer in a tire factory, where he made significant contributions to improving production efficiency. Later, he took on a senior engineering role at the firm SIT, further showcasing his ingenuity in developing innovative methods.In 1936, Voisin traveled to the University of Heidelberg to enhance his proficiency in the German language. There, he completed a thesis titled "Goethe and France" and was honored with the distinction of becoming an Honorary Citizen of Heidelberg.During the tumultuous period of World War II, Voisin's life took a different course. In 1943, he married Martha Rosine Fernagu in occupied Paris. At the outbreak of the war in September 1939, Voisin left his position in the rubber industry to actively participate in the war effort. Initially stationed with the French Navy in Algeria, he was involved in two naval missions in the Mediterranean and was severely injured during the second mission. After receiving initial treatment in Algiers, he spent four months in the Val-de-Grâce hospital in Paris.Voisin engaged in various ground operations in France in 1940, including the Narvik Campaign. As the Fall of France loomed, he was ordered to evacuate to England. Alongside a small group, he embarked on a daring boat journey from Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, which lasted several days, resulting in their successful arrival in England. In England, Voisin met with Admiral Thierry d'Argenlieu and was appointed as Secretary Attaché to Admiral Émile Muselier, the leader of the Free French Naval Forces.In October 1940, Voisin returned to his family farm, "Le Talou," located on a 320-acre estate in Gruchet, south of Arques-la-Bataille, in occupied France. From 1941 to 1944, he played a vital role in the Resistance by covertly arranging food deliveries from his farm. Additionally, he worked as a translator for the mayor, Albert Thoumyer, in his dealings with the Nazi occupiers. In an act of bravery and compassion, Voisin successfully advocated for the pardon of a farmer who was facing execution by firing squad in March 1943.After the liberation of Paris in August 1944, Voisin entrusted the care of Le Talou to his wife and traveled to Paris to meet with Admiral d'Argenlieu. He was assigned to a regiment of marine infantry and participated in various campaigns with the Free French forces, notably the intense but short-lived Battle of the Vosges in October. Voisin sustained injuries once again, this time in Benfeld.In 1946, Voisin published his memoirs of the war, titled "A Single Foot on the Earth," based on his war diaries. The book was enriched with illustrations by Commander Luc-Marie Bayle, the official Navy artist.Towards the end of 1945, after fulfilling his duty to his country, Voisin returned to Gruchet to pursue his true passion: farming.Voisin found immense satisfaction in observing his cattle graze on the pasture. He began to notice distinct differences between the grazing behavior of cows and the process of mowing and feeding them hay. When a pasture is mown for hay, all the grass is cut at once. However, when cows graze, the pasture is only consumed at the pace they are able to eat. Additionally, while a cow in a feedlot can eat as much as it wants without moving, a cow in a pasture must actively seek out desirable sections of grass and graze on it bit by bit.These observations led Voisin to realize that existing theories of grazing did not accurately describe the conditions of a grazing animal. Most scientific studies focused on either growing grass without grazing animals or feeding cut grass to animals in feedlots, rarely considering the behavior of cattle grazing on pasture. Voisin recognized that this interaction between the cow and grass, which he called "the meeting of cow and grass," was fundamentally different from either action performed alone.This understanding led Voisin to a critical realization - time played a crucial role. The number of animals per acre was not the main factor in determining overgrazing, but rather the amount of time the plants were exposed to grazing animals. If animals remained on the pasture for too long, a palatable plant would be grazed a second time before it had a chance to recover from the initial grazing. Additionally, repeated grazing at short intervals prevented plants from achieving their maximum growth rate, limiting the amount of sunlight energy captured and converted into useful feed.Voisin's work on his farm began to attract scientific attention, and he was invited to give lectures both domestically and internationally, including in the United States, Great Britain, Ireland, and Germany. In 1956, he was appointed an associate professor at the National Veterinary School of Alfort and became a member of the Academy of Agriculture of France.In 1954, Voisin recorded an effective stocking rate for the most productive part of the grazing season (10 May - 23 September) as 2.2 Livestock Units per acre. Before implementing rational grazing, Voisin claimed his stocking rate was only 0.6 LU/acre, demonstrating a significant growth in stocking rate through his methods.Voisin eventually formulated his "four laws" of rational grazing, which he believed applied universally regardless of soil conditions, climate, altitude, latitude, or longitude. These laws were as follows:First Law: A sufficient interval must elapse between two successive grazings to allow the grass to accumulate reserves in its roots for vigorous regrowth and produce a high daily yield per acre.Second Law: The total occupation period of one paddock should be short enough so that the grass initially grazed on the first day is not cut again by the animals' teeth before they move to another paddock.Third Law: Animals with higher nutritional requirements should be given access to the greatest quantity of high-quality grass.Fourth Law: For optimal milk yields, a cow should not stay on the same paddock for more than three days. Maximum yields can be achieved when a cow is kept on a paddock for only one day.These laws formed the foundation of Voisin's approach to rational grazing and represented his findings based on extensive observation and experimentation.In June 1964, Voisin received an invitation from Fidel Castro to deliver a series of lectures at the University of Havana on the subject of Rational Grazing. Despite the negative perception of Castro's communist government, Voisin agreed and arrived in Cuba on December 3.Voisin and his wife were personally greeted by Castro at the airport, and they led an inspection of a nearby farm owned by the Cuban Prime Minister. The series of lectures opened on December 8 at the University of Havana.Castro praised Voisin's work and stated that "human health, human happiness, is the main objective of Professor Voisin's work." On December 11, Voisin was awarded an honorary doctorate from the university.However, on December 21 at 3:50 pm, Voisin died suddenly of a heart attack in his hotel. Castro announced his death on national television that evening. A state funeral was held the following day at the Great Hall of the University of Havana.Voisin had previously expressed a desire that, if he died while giving lectures abroad, he wished for his remains to be buried in the country of his death. Following his wishes, he was buried at Colon Cemetery in Havana.Voisin became celebrated in Cuba, and the Cuban government declared 1965 "The Year of Agriculture" in his honor. A commemorative stamp with a face value of 3¢ was issued on the first anniversary of his death.Despite Castro's advocacy for Voisin's work, Cuban farmers largely ignored his methods until the collapse of the Communist Common Market in 1989, which resulted in a three-year economic crisis called the Special Period. The loss of Soviet energy and chemical imports called for a transition to organic and skill-intensive agroecological models based on the principles of Voisinism. This transition was successful, and by 1995, urban agriculture, especially the use of organoponicos, was widespread in Cuba.Voisin's work gained attention and recognition among English-speaking authors, including Allan Nation, Joel Salatin, and Allan Savory. Savory, who developed Holistic Management, was greatly influenced by Voisin's principles and wrote the introduction for the 1988 reprint of "Grass Productivity."Despite the impact of his research on the permaculture, holistic management, and grass-fed beef movements, Voisin remains relatively unknown in his home country of France, partly due to his political leanings.FarmHopLife websiteFarmHopLife #20x23projectFarmHopLife LinktreeSource 1, source 2, source 3, source 4Image credit: culturaempresarialganadera.org

In this episode we interviewed Daniel Griffith of the Robinia Institute. In today's climate, regenerative agriculture is a popular phrase being used in the farming and health industries, as well as marketing campaigns. Daniel unpacks what the label “regenerative agriculture” means and why the conversation and practices surrounding this trendy label might need to be reframed. He posits that regenerative agriculture does not actually get to the root cause of our problems since it simply continues the cycle of mechanization and reductionism. As Daniel so beautifully says: “First we need to heal the soul before healing the soil.” Tune in for a philosophical conversation about the land, our connection to it, agriculture, community, and the hope for a better future. Allan Savory calls Daniel the “poet laureate of holistic management,” and he did a fantastic job of painting a vivid picture of the landscape with his words.    Resources Mentioned: Kiss the Ground Documentary Jill Winger: The Prairie Homestead Will Harris: White Oak Pastures Dan Kittredge: The Bionutrient Institute Bionutrient Food Association    Books Mentioned: Nourishment by Fred Provenza   Podcasts Mentioned: WAPF Interview with Daniel Griffith Homegrown Education interview with Daniel Griffith   Connect with Daniel Griffith: @daniel.firth.griffith Robinia Institute  Daniel Firth Griffith

I've been watching an interesting and important discussion play out for a number of years now within the environmental movement and ecological farming community. It appears that on one hand we have a group that is convinced by the data that farming to feed a population which is growing exponentially through traditional land based means is doomed to be an ecological detriment. Our current system should instead be replaced with high tech solutions such as vertical farms and laboratory processes to create the nutrition this population needs. As a result we could return much of our farmland to rewilding efforts to recover the natural environments and biodiversity that we've lost, in no small part due to modern agriculture.   On the other side we have people who are convinced by the data (often the same data) that we need to return to a deeper and more compassionate relationship with the earth, one that allows for us to produce a yield without compromising the ability of all other life forms to exist and thrive. In this way we can both feed the population and restore our role as environmental stewards. Rather than returning many farms to rewild, we could incorporate habitat and biodiversity into our production methods and foster the recovery of wild species in a way that enhances the resilience of our production methods.    Instead of isolating human activity from a pristine concept of the natural world and permitting destructive actions in the remaining space, we could consider all of our necessary functions within a globally connected landscape for their potential to enhance all forms of life, not just our own. These two contrasting world views recently came to head during a debate between Allan Savory and George Monbiot. Allan represented the side of holistic management, taking into account the infinite complexity of the natural world to create management frameworks to operate with this nuance in a way that respects all the cycles and life affirming principles of our world.    George has been an outspoken critic of this position, especially in how it relates to the management of livestock in farming, arguing that there is no potential for beneficial ecological outcomes in livestock farming, and that in order to combat the climate crisis and mass biodiversity loss, high efficiency farming must be leveraged, along with technologies such as precision fermentation, to produce plant based protein alternatives to meat.    I've linked to the video recording of the debate in the show notes for this episode on the website, in order to let you make up your own mind about which side you support. I also want to express that I don't consider these two positions, certainly not in their rigidity, as the only positions in the broader discussion. At the same time I know that anyone who has listened to more than a few episodes of this show will know which direction I lean personally. That brings me to today's interview in which I'll be speaking with Chris Smaje. Chris is a university-based social scientist turned farmer. Has co-run a small farm and market garden for the last 20 years. Along with farming he is a dedicated voice for regenerative and locally based food systems. He's the author of 'A Small Farm Future' which articulates his vision and the details of a society built around local economies and food systems, and his most recent title, 'Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future directly confronts the popular arguments in favor of manufactured food and removing food production from the land.    In our conversation we start by identifying the sources and advocacy of industrially produced food and farm alternatives. We break down the manipulation of data and reductionist thinking that results in conclusions that technological fixes are our only solutions.  Chris also paints a picture of his ideas for a brighter alternative to these conclusions and what is possible in a more locally based and decentralized configuration of our sources of sustenance.    We also dig into the active role that all of us can play in creating this alternative future and accelerate a transformation in the role of farming as well as supply and production of food to one that serves the broader community of life that we're all connected to.  This is one of my current favorite subjects of exploration as it is connected to so many aspects of how we live, organize ourselves, co-create culture and community, and manifest our future. I hope to explore aspects of this with many more people and perspectives in the coming months, so please, if there are people that you would like to hear me interview about these topics or if you'd like to add or challenge any of the points in the upcoming discussion, I encourage you to reach out on our discord community or to me directly at info@regenerativeskills.com

The topic of how to feed upwards of 10 billion people with the least amount of deforestation and pollution is complex and layered. There's clearly big issues within the standard industrial farming system, and in this conversation four guests get into what they believe is the best way to farm to feed the world, both on a small and large scale.  Speaking for the regenerative ranching positition is Will Harris and Jason Rowntree.  Will is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866. He uses regenerative farming methods where he was born and raised at White Oak Pastures. Will has been recognized all over the world as a leader in environmental sustainability and is the Beef Director of the American Grassfed Association.  Jason RownTree is a professor of Animal Science at Michigan State University where he holds the Charles Stewart Mott Distinguished Professorship for Sustainable Agriculture. Rowntree's research focuses on identifying the metrics and management that reflect ecological improvement in grazing land and other agricultural systems.  Speaking for the regenerative plant agriculture position is Nicholas Carter and Jimmy Videle. Nicholas is an ecologist and co-founder of plantbaseddata.org, a library of peer-reviewed articles and summaries on the evidence to shift to plant-based diets. His thesis focused on the global estimates of greenhouse gas emissions attributed to animal agriculture, and has since written reports and articles on biodiversity loss and food systems.  Jimmy Videle is a professional farmer, activist, consultant and researcher. He lives on a small-scale veganic farm in Québec and has been growing his own food and homesteading for over twenty-five years, with experience on eleven organic and permaculture farms around the world. This episode covers: What the best type of agriculture is to feed the world without destroying the planet The differences between regenerative ranching vs regenerative plant agriculture What they improve on the environmental metrics and if it is scalable Regulation and accountability (or lack of) within the regenerative label Soil issues, what causes it and how do we fix it? Is buying local food a way to reduce your environmental footprint? Is there enough land in the US, or globally, to support meat demands if we switched to grass fed/finished beef? If it's unrealistic to expect people to reduce their meat and dairy intake Where most methane comes from and If there is such a thing as carbon negative beef Allan Savory and his claim that holistic grazing can reverse climate change  Sponsors: Branch Basics | Get 15% off all Starter Kits (except the Trial Kit) https://links.branchbasics.com/ellen15 SafeSleeve | Get 10% off your order with code ELLEN10 https://www.safesleevecases.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_id=EllenPod Anima Mundi Herbals | enter the code ELLEN20 for 20% off https://glnk.io/nr9jm/ellenfisher See Nicholas' timestamped references here WHERE TO FIND WILL HARRIS https://whiteoakpastures.com Instagram WHERE TO FIND NICHOLAS CARTER plantbaseddata.org Instagram WHERE TO FIND JIMMY VIDELE YouTube WHERE TO FIND ME ⁠My birth course⁠ ⁠My ebooks⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Watch the podcast

Allan is a native of present day Zimbabwe and joins us from his home in the US. Allan has lived a life of varied and profound experiences – as a farmer, a soldier, a game ranger, a politician, an exiled politician, a biologist and a pioneering independent scientist. Without realizing what he was recognizing as a 20 year old game ranger, Allan began a life of understanding what lay at the core of humanity's problem: management. Starting from the 1960s he saw how our modern civilization could confront desertification and reverse climate change. We discuss the destruction of past civilizations, the wicked problem of institutions, the feudalism of knowledge and how important our two tools (technology and fire) have been for us. His work promoting large-scale regeneration of the world's grasslands through holistic management has spread over 29 countries, with more universities eventually coming on board with his decades of scientific investigation and practical implementation of his methods.   Allan's message: It's not too late.

So says Eric Perner, cattle rancher, mechanical engineer, and co-founder of REP Provisions By working with nature (instead of against it), regenerative agriculture holds incredible promise for healing the planet while feeding our communities real food. Eric joins Russell and Alan to share the science, as well as his astounding personal experiences, behind this approach to maintaining healthy land and, as Alan Day likes to say, "happy grass."

NOTE: the global launch we talk about is now on 7 / 8 December (details in the links below - & more to come) I hope you enjoy this little tribute episode. It's the 10th anniversary of the passing of my old mate and mentor, Professor Frank Fisher. He'd be 79 today. The honours list of guests on these anniversary editions now includes Hazel Henderson, Allan Savory and Charlie Massy. This year, it's Paul Hawken, the multiple best-selling author of Regeneration: Ending the climate crisis in one generation. This is the rest of the conversation Paul and I shared last week – featuring some fun personal exchanges, and even some out-takes (for those who listen right through), to close out the year. We start with Paul's take on the US mid-terms. Then we get the early running on what's coming down the line with Project Regeneration. And there is plenty, including a global launch of a short film with an all-star cast, now on December 7 / 8 (details below). After that, we got talking about some of Paul's favourite episodes on The RegenNarration. I have a brief update on the podcast on the other side of this conversation too. Including ... I'm shifting host platform for the podcast. It's been a long time coming really. SoundCloud has been my host platform till now, and it really isn't set up for podcasts anymore. The change shouldn't affect your listening in any way. It'll still be available where you listen to podcasts, and on The RegenNarration website. But if you do experience any glitches, this might be why, and will hopefully be short lived. If you're following the podcast on SoundCloud, it'll still be available there too I believe, just not hosted there. Again, just let me know if you notice anything go wrong. And otherwise, I hope you find a better experience in the change too – with clearer show notes, website player and other benefits.

It takes courage to reflect on questions about the purpose of our lives, our businesses, and what impact we want to make during our lifetime. Brian Megaw shares openly about his process of learning to notice his shifting engagement with his business and his questioning of the meaning and purpose of his business during the opportunistic pause of the pandemic. He outlines the steps he took and how, together with his family, they have transformed and revitalised River Valley Lodge into a business with holistic management principles at the heart. Brian also cautions against trying to quantify regeneration, but instead suggests we focus on encouraging life, learning to sense the vitality of our place and business through indicators for life. He suggests asking, “Are we encouraging life?” Brian's story is a promising example of a mindset shift guiding and directing the practical shift needed to move his business in a more regenerative direction.    Join the conversation Join our LinkedIn network of likeminded professionals exploring what a regenerative future for tourism can look like.

As we come to the end of this series on building strong communities, I wanted to revisit one of the most impactful conversations I had from last season. Last year you may remember that I released an 11 episode series of expert panels focused on various aspects of regenerative agriculture. In the final panel session I recorded a discussion with Allan Savory, Ana Digón, and Rudolf Buehler all of whom have been catalysts for for the creation of community for growers and land stewards around the world. Since this is the aspect of my work that I spend the most time on, and because the insights in this conversation have been so formative in the way that I approach my work with Climate Farmers and the European agriculture community, I wanted to revisit this discussion and include it in this series on community building In this session I hosted a discussion on building community in agriculture with my friends and colleagues at Climate Farmers, a non-profit organization working to build the infrastructure to scale regenerative agriculture in Europe. In my work as the Community Coordinator with Climate Farmers I've heard from so many of the people in our network that they feel lonely or isolated in their work and in their own communities. Despite the work of many organisations to bring together growers in various regions, many farmers still don't know where to turn to for support and connection. For this panel I was fortunate enough to be joined by three world renowned teachers and farm community builders from Zimbabwe, Spain, and Germany to focus on the nuances and challenges of building agricultural communities from their own unique experiences. We'll hear from Allan Savory of the Savory Institute and international Holistic Management network, Ana Digón from the Agricultura Regenerativa network on the Iberian Peninsula, and Rudolf Bühler, leader of the farmers movement BESH and initiator of the UN's peasant rights in Germany. We'll go into some key starting points in bringing farming communities together, and what it takes to sustain them in the long term. We go from the importance of managing communities to alternative structures, important aspects of rural priorities, and a lot more.

Kelly Mulville, a veteran agricultural consultant, is the Vineyard Director at Paicines Ranch in San Benito County, California. For more than 25 years, Kelly has been obtaining impressive results by merging his experience in viticulture with his understanding of Allan Savory's holistic grazing management techniques. His approach to extended-season vineyard livestock grazing and other ecological practices continue to capture an audience of vineyard managers around the globe. Kelly and John discuss in this episode: How Kelly developed practices around incorporating sheep into his vineyard management. Flooring a wildlife biologist with the bird population data on Kelly's vineyard after implementing new practices. The role plant-grazing animals play in reducing insect pressures. Kelly's cover cropping strategy and how it has led to a diversity of 50 species of plants growing in the vineyard. The specific holistic management techniques inspired by Allan Savory's work that have contributed to vineyard success. The adaptability of these practices on other crops like nuts and tree crops.  

In this episode of the Plant-Based Canada podcast we interview ecologist and co-founder of PlantBasedData.org, Nicholas Carter. He is the Communications Lead for a Canadian Centre for Climate Services data hub & serves as an advisory board member to several food- and environment-focused organizations. He's also a science writer on the interconnections between agriculture and planetary health. He completed a Master's degree in Environmental Practice from Royal Roads University, where his research focused on the global greenhouse gas emissions that are attributed to animal agriculture.Nicolas will be speaking at our upcoming virtual Canadian plant based nutrition conference on may 28th and 29th. In this episode we discuss:How our food systems contribute to carbon and methane emissionsWater and land use required for animal agricultureEnvironmental runoffs and dead zonesCalories in versus calories out: why animal agriculture is not an efficient systemBig meat disinformation campaignsThe outcome of the COP26 Climate ConferenceThe lack of evidence behind the holistic grazing movementAlternative farming practices versus traditional The impact of industrial fishing on the oceans and sea life How a shift to plant-based diets can help ameliorate many environmental issues we face todaySocials/Links:PlantBasedData.orgTwitterInstagramLinkTreeStudies/Articles:Food is responsible for 25-42% of all global emissions Animal Agriculture's contributions could be as high as 37% Animal agriculture & methane The key to reducing biodiversity lossToday, only 4% of mammals are wild animals, 34% are humans, & 62% are livestockFood systems have caused: 70% of biodiversity loss on land, 50% biodiversity loss in water, & 80% global deforestationHuman impact on oceansTyson has spent double what Exxon has on political campaignsChicken: calories in, calories outLivestock exclusion increased abundance and diversity of animalsA critical review of Allan Savory's grazing method Beef cattle use ~60% of the world's agricultural land but account for less than 2% of global calories & 5% of global protein consumedOxford University: Grazed & ConfusedBeyond Burger water, land, energy usageThis Podcast was hosted and edited by Clinton Stamatovich 

"Through a lot of my life, I've always gone against the grain. Whether that's through skydiving or ultra-running or ditching a very comfortable federal career." Welcome to episode Twenty-Six of the “It Matters To Me Podcast”! I'm your host, Adam Casey, and my guest today is Bobby Gill, Director of Development and Communications for the Savory Institute. But before he assumed that role, this expertly trained Biological Resources Engineer was a lead scientific reviewer at the FDA close to where he grew up in Beltsville, Maryland. That is until he and a couple of friends ran through the streets of D.C. pantless and helped found Cupid's Undie Run, a national non-profit that has raised millions of dollars for neurofibromatosis research since its inception in 2010. Oh, and did I forget to mention that he also was at one point a fairly prolific ultra-running resume and even had his skydiving license with over 800 jumps logged? Since making the leap into the regenerative space at the Savory Institute, he now explores the intersectionality of personal and planetary health, and how to distill the complexity of these issues to new audiences. During our conversation, you'll hear us reference a recent TEDx talk that Bobby gave about his work at the Savory Institute back in 2020 and I really encourage you to give that a listen because the message about holistic land management and its positive environmental impact is a storyline that doesn't get enough attention. Bobby's clearly got a diverse background and his ability to wear so many hats is something I genuinely admire. This was such an authentically fun interview and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Not all meat is created equal. If you've been wondering what regenerative meat is and how it can heal our bodies and our planet, then this episode is for you. Our guest went from a high-level athlete trying to optimize his performance to a rancher raising the best meat possible for southern California.  Regenerative rancher Kevin Muno of https://perennialpasturesranch.com/ (Perennial Pastures) digs into how he and his team are revitalizing 17,000 acres of southern California grasslands through holistic, ecological grazing methods. We dig into the nitty gritty of how regenerative ranching can build soil and drastically improve the health of our planet while providing us with nutrient-dense protein.  We explain exactly how cattle can restore grasslands and build topsoil while yielding nutrient-dense, healing food.  We also discuss how more regenerative ranches and businesses can dive into this movement to make a difference on a global scale. Kevin also provides profound insights into regenerative entrepreneurship and how to create financially viable businesses that align with serving his community and contributing to something that is much bigger than himself. He offers so much advice for aspiring regenerative ranchers as well as how eaters can support this movement. We explore the differences between annual, low-diversity, soil-destroying industrial systems versus perennial, high diversity, soil-building agroecosystems. And how this directly impacts our gut microbiomes and so many other aspects of human health. We also get into the fascinating details of new nutrient density studies that are helping differentiate between different types of cattle ranching, and how some meats may be drastically healthier for us than others.  Lastly, we dive into why Kevin believes that we need science-driven data to identify greenwashing in the regenerative space, and how we can differentiate the truly regenerative producers versus the fakers. If you've been wondering what questions to ask your local ranchers or how to find truly ethical, eco-friendly meat in the grocery store, we've got the answers!  Follow Perennial Pastures on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/perennialpasturesranch/?hl=en (@perennialpasturesranch)  Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thesoilcollective_/ (@thesoilcollective_ ) Mentioned in this podcast: https://perennialpasturesranch.com/ (Perennial Pastures Ranch)  ‘The Paleo Diet' by Dr. Loren Cordain (book) ‘Restoration Agriculture' by Mark Shepard  (book) Roger Savory (son of Allan Savory, a key figure in regenerative agriculture) ‘Dirt to Soil by Gabe Brown (book)  Soil Health Academy Course at University of CA Chico https://landinstitute.org (The Land Institute) https://www.savannainstitute.org/ (The Savannah Institute) ‘Sacred Cow' by Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf (book) https://bionutrient.org/bionutrientinstitute (Bionutrient Food Association)

With the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) having just occurred, Aaron Zober welcomes Seth Itzkan of Soil4Climate (https://www.facebook.com/groups/Soil4Climate) to The Appropriate Omnivore podcast. Seth is an environmental futurist advocating for holistic land management in order to reverse climate change. He makes a visit to the show having just been to the U.N. Food Systems Summit where he and his team presented a paper on regenerative agriculture. After the Food Systems Summit he also attended COP26 and was able to address people there about holistic management. As he's on a program called The Appropriate Omnivore, Aaron has him address the meaty issue of why animals are needed for regenerative agriculture and reducing carbon emissions. Seth then gets into what foods we need to eat less of and what he'd like to see as the theme for next year's Climate Change Conference.

When we stop viewing nature as something we dominate, yet instead work with, transformation will happen. The land manager becomes a steward that is in partnership with nature to build soil biology so that life can flourish.This episode the The Regenerative Real Estate is a captivating life story full of passion and purpose by the enigmatic Hobbs Magaret, founder of Sisters Cattle Co. Once a professional musician living in Los Angels, Hobbs became inspired by a TED talk by Allan Savory on the ability to sequester carbon and rehabilitate grasslands by mimicking nature with prey/predator effect to graze cows. From then on it was off to the races. The title of this episode “The Regenerative Hustle” aptly wraps up the essence of Hobbs who shows a dazzling brilliance of driven entrepreneur. He peppers in advice based on his life on how to set ambitious goals and then achieve them without compromise or financial resources.Equal parts philosopher, preacher, historian, and entrepreneur, Hobbs delivers a gripping narrative of how he and his wife changed their entire lives to pursue the calling of land regeneration. Be sure to turn up the volume and carve out an hour to tune in, because this is one interview that delivers entertainment, insights, and life lessons that won't disappointment.

In today's episode we continue our series on regenerative agriculture, why it is so important for soils, the environment, and all human life. Joining us for this episode is a legend is this field, Allan Savory. Allan's storied career started more than 60 years ago in a country no longer known by the same name. He was born in Rhodesia in 1935 and received his Bachelor of Science in Zoology and Botany from South Africa's University of Natal. He pursued an early career as a research biologist and game ranger in the British Colonial Service of what was then Northern Rhodesia (today Zambia) and later as a farmer and game rancher in Zimbabwe. During the 1960's, Allan made a significant breakthrough in understanding what was causing the degradation and desertification of the world's grassland ecosystems and worked with numerous managers on four continents to develop sustainable solutions. In 2003, Allan received Australia's International Banksia Award “for the person or organization doing the most for the environment on a global scale,” and in 2010 Savory (and the Africa Centre) received the Buckminster Fuller Institute's Challenge award for work that has “significant potential to solve humanity's most pressing problems.” A TED talk Savory gave in 2013 has received over 7 million views and in 2014 was voted one of the 50 most intriguing TED talks of all time. Additionally, Allan is the author of 6 books covering aspects of Holistic Management practices, and how they can be applied to restore the Earth's environment thru management of grassland ecosystems.

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast Today's interview was originally recorded by the Australian podcaster Dan Palmer for an episode of his excellent, Making Permaculture Stronger. I've known Dan since before he started his show and as I recall it was at 1 or 2 AM on the East Coast of the United States when we connected over Skype several years ago to talk about his plans for starting a new podcast with a deep focus on the design process as it applies to permaculture, and what we can learn from experts within and without the community. As my focus over the years has been on the breadth of what it means to practice permaculture, and not the specifics of design, I shared with Dan my thoughts on how to develop an interview style and choosing how much to prepare for those conversations ahead of time. How to find your narrative voice and make decisions early on that establish your on-air presentation. After a rather enjoyable chat that ended as I could stay awake no longer and he needed to head to his evening meal, I've continued to follow Dan's show over the years and find my own inspiration in him taking on the vital subject of design. With this admiration, I jumped at the opportunity when he recently reached out to ask if I'd want to share an interview he'd recorded with the founder of Holistic Management. Needing little introduction, the Zimbabwean ecologist Allan Savory has spent decades developing and refining how we can manage complexity in the environment, on our farms, and in our lives. In a forward-thinking approach that walks us backward from the vision of how we want our world, land, or life to be, we can then look well beyond the moment and see where we want to go and how to get there This is, of course, a simplified explanation of a fascinating and deep system for managing a wide range of issues, but which has roots in fighting desertification and reversing climate change. You can find more about Allan and his work at Savory.global Dan's website and podcast are at makingpermaculturestronger.net. You can read Dan's original show notes at: https://makingpermaculturestronger.net/permaculture-holistic-management/ Leaving this interview what Allan said about our ability to manage complexity stuck in my mind, and so I immediately picked up a copy of the audiobook of Holistic Management, Third Edition, A Commonsense Revolution to Restore Our Environment. What stood out both in the book and from this conversation is how Allan turns the language of complexity around so that we do not have to name what we face, but rather focus on the desired outcomes of our holistic context while allowing us to quickly grasp what we need to do to achieve that end. Along the way we have checks to see whether or not what we're doing is correct for reaching that long-term holistic context. Why this stood out to me was that in my graduate program years ago, we used to break complex situations down into two main categories: issues and problems. Issues were the overarching conditions leading to detrimental effects which cannot be directly addressed through a simple on-the-ground action or small policy change. Problems were individual pieces we could create a plan or policy around and thus change. The issues we found drove what problems we could solve, thus ameliorating the impacts of the larger issues. Work on enough problems, the theory went, and eventually, you'd solve the issue. As I understand what Allan's doing, Holistic Management takes all of that, wraps it up in one process, and allows us to continuously work on both the issues and problems in parallel. Though I know there's much more to the method than my words here express, there exists a tangible power behind Holistic Management to achieve a beautiful, bountiful world where we've afforested the deserts and reversed climate change. But, those are just my thoughts at the moment. What are yours? Leave a comment in the show notes, or send me an email: The Permaculture Podcast A few updates and announcements: One of those, as we approach the 10th anniversary of the podcast, is the annual Summer to Fall fundraiser. My goal for this fundraiser is two-fold. The first is to upgrade the computer where I edit the show. The second is to invest in some video equipment to record video interviews and site tours once the world recovers from COVID. To go along with the fundraiser, for anyone donating $50 or more (please include postage, international listeners), if you include your address in the notes for your donation, I'll send you a USB drive with every currently available interview, monologue, and discussion from the first decade of The Permaculture Podcast. That includes the first show from 2010 all the way up to the 10th-anniversary episode out on October 10th of this year. Also, I'm here to help you find the resources necessary to bring your vision of permaculture into the world. You can now schedule a one-on-one consultation with me, or a more casual, meandering conversation if you prefer, at calendly.com/permaculture. Finally, there are more voices in the world doing amazing work than I could ever have the possibility to record an interview with, so if you've ever thought, “I'd love to hear an interview with a member of my community on The Permaculture Podcast,” now's the opportunity. I'd like to teach you how to record a conversation and send it to me to share on the show. You don't need to edit or produce the interview, I'll take care of all that. I'm also particularly interested in stories recorded by women and young people and from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities. If you're interested, let me know. Send an email to: The Permaculture Podcast with the subject, “My Community” and pitch me the story you'd like to share. Until the next time, spend each day managing complexity, while taking care of Earth, your self, and each other.

Already applying these processes to millions of acres of farmland, his current mission is for these regenerative models to become adopted globally by 2040.     Along the way, John shares the history of how he came to and developed these methods, as well as how existing food policies and intellectual property systems hamper farmers' ability to steward the land and increase the health and resilience of our communities. By holistically meeting the needs of farmers and focusing on the results, rather than the methods, John leads farmers down the path of regenerative agriculture and a more abundant future.

Become a sustaining supporter at Patreon John's results represent what permaculture practitioners can achieve on a broad-scale by seeing to farmers' needs while speaking the language of permaculture. John is doing for fruit and vegetable agriculture what folks like Allan Savory are achieving raising animals. Permaculture folks have a fantastic number of tools in our toolkit. John extends those by providing a model for furthering our practices, whether we are interested in working directly with farmers and broad-scale agriculture or policy and politics. We can use the research and science he's found to argue and advocate for practices and procedures that change agriculture as we know it. We can push organic and other operations further and further away from chemical use and closer to what we've known for more than 40 years: working with nature leads to bountiful results.
