Can sheep save the planet?
Allan Savory says, Yes!
Allan discusses how animals, such as sheep, can be used to heal landscapes, combat climate change, restore economies, increase soil fertility, produce clean water, provide healthy habitat for wildlife, and more.
Founded in 2009 by Zimbabwean biologist-farmer Allan Savory, the Savory Institute facilitates the realization of a life of enduring returns for the land and all that depend on it. Allan became among the first to understand and publicly discuss the degradation and desertification of the world’s grassland ecosystems. Researching extensively on his own land, Allan developed a system, using livestock, to restore our precious soil. For centuries, we were told that livestock were a major cause in the degradation of our environment, but instead, Allan was able to understand that it was how those livestock were managed that was to blame.
Brown Barn Farm is putting these regenerative grazing practices to work on our 2.5-acre farm. It is our hope by instituting these holistic, regenerative grazing practices it will allows us to sequester carbon, control erosion and increase the organic matter in our soils. It’s truly a win for our livestock, our land, our community and our farm.
