#75-Allan Savory (Rhodesian Army) – Savory Institute – Part 1


Listen Later

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.
