Fossil fuels and livestock grazing are often targeted as major culprits behind climate change and desertification. The bigger problem is our mismanagement of resources. Livestock grazing is not the problem; it's how we graze livestock. Holistic Management: A Commonsense Revolution to Restore Our Environment outlines 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. The long-anticipated new edition is written for new generations of ranchers, farmers, eco and social entrepreneurs, and development professionals working to address global environmental and social degradation.
