    “I’m from a small town of 100,000.” Umm, that’s small? I’m from the largest town within a radius of 40 miles and our population is 2,333.

    He needs to get involved in the Mustang Slaughters as they are a herd that moves as a team and in NV they are being killed rather than used as a tool to bring desert back to life.

    He is just one guy and can’t do everything. I think you need to bring their attention to his ideas.

    The UN? haha good joke... They are not interested in real change. They are owned by the people who own the banks and the majority of companies in the world. Their interest lay elsewhere.

    come on brother, that is just weak. You seem to try to make the data fit your views, not your views fit the data. Very problematic. The article is honestly just a piece written with the attempt of trying to discredit Savory. Such articles are never truthful, because they try everything to fit their agenda. First of all, this article doesn't cite anything. Kinda weird. Secondly, it uses "expert" opinion rather than experimentations to deliver a certain argument. The whole talk about overgrazing damaging the ecosystem only holds true for conventional grazing. Obviously. Since ruminants' movement isn't being controlled, grass is also being grazed uncontrollably. When that happens, ruminants either undergraze or overgraze various spots on pasture. However, in nature this would never happen, because predators are always around, therefore keeping ruminants packed at all times. Savory seeks to emulate this behaviour, with his planned grazing. The articles mentions this, but seems to ignore it or forget it when speaking about the damaging factor of overgrazing. Next, Savory's science dissident views. All I can say is that Savory is right when he says: "The scientific method has never discovered anything (he probably wants to add: something of major value)." In that sense I agree with him. Go into the history of science and you'll see almost every time observation, alpha-brain wave-like thinking has produced the most significant findings. I can't list them all, but I'll just say one thing: Newton's Apple and Einstein's "man-falling-off-the-roof" happiest thought. This is how discoveries are made. Next, the article is correct, there are so many different farmers and ranchers who have successfully employed a similar grazing system. Anecdotal evidence is not at all useless, it is pivotal in science. Now onto the most important thing, evaluating whether his planned grazing system works, which would be a meta-analysis-like study. Similar studies have been made and some were included in the article. All of them give a negative conclusion. I can't go over all of these studies, because I have no time and suspect major fraud, however, why doesn't the article include a study like this: www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.2989/10220119.2018.1440630 (which came back positive for the Savory method) Next... I suspected fraud in that large Briske et al. paper and apparently I was correct, here: sci-hub.se/10.2111/1551-501x-36.1.37 (maybe researchers should actually get some help from the developers of a planned grazing system, before they try to put it to the test) This whole article has been written purely to discredit Savory and to have him look bad. On the whole it's very disingenuous. Expert opinion literally means nothing. I would recommend you eat some animal foods, so as to counteract your DHA / EPA deficiencies, which may aggravate your cognitive dissonance. Lastly, I would say that it really doesn't matter whether his system is scientifically verified to work. At worst Savory's planned grazing system is a step into the right direction, at best it is a revolutionary approach to ecological conservation.
