The Story Of Meat | Regenerative Agriculture Documentary

I just tried EPIC bars for the first time, and they’re *awesome!* Switched to local pastured beef and pork last year, and love it. Thanks for educating the world about how wonderful regenerative agriculture is!

[@patrickroach7289]

It is so true that good grazing management builds an amazing diverse ecosystem

[@just1certifiable]

Not sure if the lump in my throat and tears in my eyes are the result of the immeasurable gratitude I feel for Alan Savory and those following his teachings or from my sadness that the majority have chosen to eliminate nature.

[@toni4729]

I know. I keep on feeling it. He's been breaking my heart for years.

[@beeawarenessitself1056]

Just wish to add that ever since I watched your TedTalk many years ago Alan, I recognized it as ‘truth’ immediately... and though I’m so sorry for what you and of course those beautiful elephants went through in order to arrive at this truth, I know in my heart that absolutely every single thing in life is ‘for’ us and not ‘against’ us (even if it looks that way in the moment!) and it just makes me so happy to see how far this truth has come and it brings so much hope... again, thank you ❤️

[@yengsabio5315]

Grazing situation in tropical Philippines is a bit harder to plan due to our climate esp. so during wet season. So what we do is we feed our animals in confinement during heavy rains. In my practice, we also do rapid rotational grazing to, at least, prevent heavy endoparasitic infestation in our animals.

[@castorian2649]

As a fellow Pinoy, who is really interested in farming, I'm really interested to know more about how regenerative farming can be done in the Philippines.

[@floroos]

Congratulations to the Savory Institute for the great work. That's what the world needs. A differentiating view of things in days full of populism and flat propaganda. One thing is the truth but sadly a completly different thing is to get it to the people. With this series you are making a big step forward in educating people. Hope to see more.

[@teaguehall]

Thank you for enlightening the world on Holistic management and regenerative agriculture. More people everyday, gathering momentum, changing beliefs, thank you , lets all do what we can and enlighten our friends and families.

[@valkasolidor6727]

This may be the best yet of the many uplifting educational videos I've watched on this channel! Wonderful! I'm always pleased to see reports of positive change in challenged regions such as you report from Africa. But just by chance I live only hours away from the White Oak Pastures region, and it is very encouraging to this old man to see that old southern rancher embracing and teaching the effectiveness of your methods.

@@pragavirtual Shawn Baker just had GEE McFearSun on and GEE has plugged the "Savory was Debunked" myth. Too bad Shawn didn't ask GEE about this. Even though we may be doomed - Regenerative farming is the best approach to store carbon and GEE says he wants to store carbon. "Researchers at Texas A&M University led by Professor Richard Teague found that even moderately effective grazing systems put more carbon in the soil than the gasses cattle emit. Around 30% to 40% of the earth's surface is natural grassland, and Teague says the potential for food security is immense. ‘We studied farms and ranchers that had the highest soil carbon, and, with no exception, they managed their land following the principles where they were trying to do exactly what the bison did. They were trying to improve their land and their profits,’ Teague said. It's all about the soil. The key to climate sustainable agriculture is the soil, because soil has an extraordinary ability to store carbon. There is more than three times as much carbon in the world's soils than in the atmosphere, and scientists say that with better management, agricultural soils could absorb much more carbon in the future.” www.cnn.com/2020/03/06/africa/agriculture-regenerative-farming-climate-crisis-intl/index.html

nature has intended for all of these things to be integrated. first we removed the animals from the land, then the people from the land. now we are removing the people from the animals. nature is waiting for us to figure this one out. bravo to you all! - Lori

[@schmetterling4477]

No, first you have removed knowledge about the land from your mind. A human being needs approx. 2 lbs. of phosphorus per year. We are getting all of that from our crops and farm animals. This means that including losses eight billion human beings are depleting farmlands by at least 10-20 million tons of phosphorus a year. Nature does not replenish phosphorus and other minerals in the soil. We have to do it for her, otherwise we would have to replace once fertile farmland by cutting down forests and by tilling under natural grasslands. This is what we did in the past when humans were moving around to escape the depletion of their fields. That is no longer possible. There is no more farmland to be had if we want to keep at least a tiny fraction of natural habitats alive. This means that we have to replace the minerals that we are extracting from the soil by farming. Living with nature means to also know her limits. Very few nature lovers seem to have even the slightest idea about these trivial facts of farming.

This is a good info that we now need to regenerate back to the beginning, getting back where we had started as good farmers and shepherds and made offerings to the lord of heaven, but we wanted to reach the moon and stars, then we were loaded with lots info to make them possible, and through the given knowledge of science, we found that the world is greater than we think, and we are encircled in a different cosmo ecosystem, the holistic management is the prick to the giant bubble, thank you for all the hard work, may God continue to empower those strive for the nature

[@samkinpommers4558]

Understanding holistic management is certainly one necessary tool we need to use as inhabitants of the planet. Understanding the appropriate scale of production is another. Bigger is not better. Falling into a trap of linear production is a formula for failure. People don’t need protein bars.

[@bambookstudio6951]

What happens in HILL desertification plots... cows have a hard time grazing in hills... could they just be changed with other species like goat?

You can get cows through rough country, just takes some more proactive management at times. But yes, goats are certainly an option as well.

James The Allen Savory Institute defines HGM as ‘a process of decision-making and planning that gives people the insights and management tools needed to understand, resulting in better, more informed decisions that balance key social, environmental, and nature. • The highly ambitious claims made about the po tential for holistic grazing to mitigate climate change are wrong. • The sequestration potential from grazing management is between 295-800 Mt CO2-eq/year: this offsets only 20-60% of annual average emissions from the grazing ruminant sector, and makes a negligible dent on overall livestock emissions. • Expansion or intensification in the grazing sector as an approach to sequestering more carbon would lead to substantial increases in methane, nitrous oxide. Perhaps more importantly, whether or not adaptive grazing approaches offer advantages, it is clear is that the extremely ambitious claims its proponents make are dangerously misleading. The Institute claims that widespread application of its methods would lead to quite massive removals of carbon from the atmosphere - some 500 billion tonnes over 40 years. This would be enough, as it says,125,126,127 to ‘reverse climate change’ since about 555 billion tonnes carbon (or 2035 tonnes CO2) have been released into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution. The Nordborg review128 dismantles this claim extremely effectively and its conclusions are worth summarising here. First, Nordborg points out that the sequestration rate of 2.5 t C/ha/yr is substantially higher than all other peer-reviewed estimates (see Section 3.5 below). Second, the amount of grassland to which this is applied, 5 billion hectares, is considerably greater than most estimates of the area of grasslands that can be defined even loosely as grazing lands - Nordborg cites the estimate provided in the IPCC’s 2000 report on land use change, of 3.5 billion hectares.129,130 Third, it is vanishingly unlikely that this constant high sequestration rate could be maintained for 40 years since the rate of accrual diminishes over time as soils approach carbon equilibrium. Finally, Savory does not take into account the significant increases in methane and nitrous oxide that would result from higher livestock numbers. In many ways, the regenerative approach and its variants can also be seen as a social movement, appealing to people who are dissatisfied with conventional practices. Those attracted are often unusually motivated by considerations that go beyond the monetary, and tend to embrace the nuanced approach that is required. Emphasis is placed on community support, knowledge exchange, peer to peer learning and the replacement of inputs with knowledge.131,132,133,134 While these motivations are clearly laudable, their effectiveness serves to underline the importance of the social context.

Maybe you should start educating yourself by reading books and figuring things out, instead of just asking around for recipes.

[@wendyscott8425]

Joel Salatin has all kinds of KZbin videos where he describes in detail what to do in winter. He puts his cattle in an enclosure, feeds them hay, lets them fertilize the place, intersperses wood chips in the mix where the cows are plus some feed corn (I think it's feed corn) and lets it ferment. The pile grows bigger as winter goes on and he has movable feeding methods that rise as the pile grows. Then once the cows are let out in the spring, he puts pigs into the pile and lets them root around in it picking out the corn and turning the pile. This makes terrific compost, which he then spreads on his fields as necessary, thus putting back what was taken out since the hay came from his own pastures. Not being a farmer myself, I may not be explaining this totally right, but you get the point. Check out his videos. He has a lot to say about how to do everything.

Ive been following this guy and he is somewhat misleading... The animals are only crapping out 1 tenth of what they are eating, chop and drop methods would regenrate the soil ten times faster... If there was a natural native healthy soil present the animals would have no benefit to the land. They make it seem like the cattle are carbon negative, which is only true while the land is recovering... Once the soil is healthy and reestablished the cattle will not provide a benefit to the environment and will contribute massively to greenhouse gasses... That being said, if this technique allows people to reguvinate the land faster then otherwise possible then it only makes sense. The misleading part is that grassland requires pasteurization to remain healthy, while an unpastured grassland produces the most soil and sequesters the most carbon.
