Allan Savory

Allan Savory is a Zimbabwean ecologist and livestock farmer known for developing the concept of "holistic management," a method for managing livestock grazing to restore grasslands and improve ecosystems. His approach focuses on mimicking natural grazing patterns of wild herbivores, which can enhance soil health, increase biodiversity, and combat desertification. Savory advocates for the sustainable use of livestock as a tool for environmental restoration, suggesting that well-managed grazing can sequester carbon in the soil and contribute positively to climate change efforts. His ideas have sparked both support and debate in the fields of agriculture and ecology.
