About this listen
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 audiobook 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 listeners to understand the framework for holistic management and the four key insights that underlie it.
This long-anticipated new edition is written for new generations of ranchers, farmers, ecological 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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

An Environmental/Agricultural leadership must!
This book breaks down some seriously damaging myths about environmental management. Having studied Environmental science 10 years ago and again now, I hadn't come across his ideas in mainstream science. BUT, they should be taught to all Environmental and Agriculture majors throughout the world. This book is a game changer.

A superb book, highly recommended
Fantastic and best of all applies no matter where you live. Too many books are targeted at American audiences but this works worldwide. I cannot recommend it enough. I'll be getting the rest of the savory institute ebooks asap

Foundational agricultural knowledge
Great book, advice and man. These ideas, wisdom and philosophies need to become the bedrock of our agricultural systems moving forwards.
You'll get sick of the word 'whole' in the first few chapters and the pronunciation of ecosystem as 'echosystem'. Editing needs finishing.
