The legendary Allan Savory joins us to discuss desertification of the world’s grasslands and the loss of quality soil, describing it as the  cause of social, economic, agricultural problems — and a significant contribution to climate change.

“Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert”. Allan has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes — and his work so far shows — that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert. A solution being grazing animals, far from being the problem are THE only real solution to the problem…… for a truly holistic approach to land management.

Over 1.3M people have viewed his TEDx 2013 talk, where he delivers one of the most significant presentations you are likely to hear about the health of our land (on which we all depend on for food) and the planet.

Join us for this inspiring and surprising story.
