Climate change is not a distant problem – it’s upon us, it’s happening now, but there is a way to stop desertification and help reverse its harmful effects. This video is about a concrete solution that is already working, offered by researcher Allan Savory’s holistic grazing method.
More than a third of the world’s land has already been destroyed, directly affecting our food, water and climate change. Hungary is no exception! Yes, even the Kiskunság region is on the verge of desertification… This process is continuing at a rapid pace, with more than 10 million hectares falling victim to erosion every year at a global level.1
The idea is to move grazing animals so that their natural behaviour helps to restore the soil. Manuring and trampling the soil helps the dead parts of the plants to decompose and regrow, thereby sequestering a lot of carbon dioxide and, as a “side effect”, restoring the natural water balance. You can see one of Savory’s successful projects in Africa in the pictures below
This is not a future technology, but a method that can be used now and has already reversed damage in countless places. We can all play a role in stopping climate change – knowledge is the first step.
