Hello and welcome to Farm to Table Talk! If you’re new here and aren’t yet subscribed, let me help you with that:
You have no option but to use livestock, if you want to reverse herbal desertification and address climate change.
Now the second thing we discovered was the cause of climate change and we've been blaming it on livestock and on fossil fuels mostly.
Now if you think about it and I spoke about this at COP26, almost every scientist now has acknowledged that humans are causing this accelerated change in the climate.
Now, if that is true and science is logical, if we are causing it, then fossil fuels aren't and livestock aren't.
You cannot have two causes of a problem, and so if we are causing it, then it means the way in which we are managing livestock and fossil fuels is causing climate change.
- Allan Savory
The cause of climate change is not animals or fossil fuel. It is how we manage all resources and we can start with grasslands of the world. Allan Savory, the founder of the Savory Institute, is a renowned ecologist and pioneer in holistic land management. His work focuses on regenerating degraded landscapes through innovative practices that integrate livestock grazing with sustainable land stewardship. His holistic approach aims to restore ecosystems, combat desertification, and address global challenges related to food production and climate change. Alan Savory joins Farm To Table Talk to explore groundbreaking contributions to sustainable agriculture, environmental conservation and attention to global policies that will make a difference.

Rodger Wasson: Well, you can't be involved in conversations on the future of agriculture, let alone the future of the world, without coming across the name Allan Savory.
And Allan's a founder of the Savory Institute, and he's a renowned ecologist and pioneer in holistic land management.
His work is focused on regenerating degraded landscapes through innovative practices that integrate livestock grazing with Sustainable Land Stewardship.
And his holistic approach aims to restore ecosystems, combat desertification, and address global challenges related to food production and climate change.
And today I'm so happy to welcome Allan Savory.
We're going to explore those groundbreaking contributions to sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation and also attend to some discussions on global policies, national and global policies that could be more helpful.
Allan, welcome to Farm To Table Talk.
Allan Savory: Thank you, Rodger.
Rodger Wasson: I've been so in awe of what you've done. You're such an incredible leader, and I have not had an opportunity to visit with you before today's podcast personally.But I keep running into disciples of yours all over the place, and I've had many guests on my podcast in the past that said that they had a program going.
They had the Savory Hub started., they had a grazing program that was established, and they were people that were turned on and excited because they were exposed to your vision and to how you've inspired them.
And Allan, you can't get it much better than that. Congratulations.
Allan Savory: Well, thank you. It's good to hear. You know, we have our ups and downs and a lot of people condemn me.
Rodger Wasson: Well, I'm going to talk about that too because I've seen some of those people condemning you and I've seen after the last COP, there were some people that were picking on your defending livestock grazing and the role that livestock grazing can play.And I saw it and I thought, gee, I should wade in here because why are they picking on him?
I didn't know you then at that time, but I thought, I can't believe some of these organizations feel that it's important for them to take shots at what you've been proposing when I find it so easy to believe what you've been proposing on the importance of livestock and grazing and a different way of looking at the world.
So I guess you must have had to develop a tough skin or a thick skin, Allan, to have people take shots at you for doing what you think is right.
