Allan Savory talks about his method for bringing life back to the desert using animals, especially large plant-eating ones. He strongly believes that cows and other livestock are not just part of the solution, but THE solution.

According to Savory, the decline of biodiversity, desertification, and climate change are all linked, and conventional methods like planting trees or using machines won't cut it. He stresses the importance of looking at land management as a whole, taking into account the culture, economy, and needs of the local community.

Savory also discusses the shortcomings of institutions and the necessity of involving citizens in policy-making. He believes that even if his method fails, the cost of trying it is minimal, but if successful, it could save countless lives and businesses.

Savory underscores the role of agriculture in addressing global issues and the importance of using animals to reverse desertification. He explains that his approach draws from military management principles and highlights the need to break down complex problems into manageable parts.

He also debunks the idea that veganism is the ultimate solution to environmental and ethical issues, emphasizing the need to consider the bigger picture and the long-term sustainability of the environment. However, veganism can be a valid choice in climates that are humid enough.
