However, Allan Savory, cofounder of the Savory Institute, presents a different perspective. The bigger problem, he warns, is our mismanagement of resources. Livestock grazing is not the problem; it's how we graze livestock. If we don't change the way we approach land management, irreparable harm from climate change could continue long after we replace fossil fuels with environmentally benign energy sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHolistic Management, Third Edition\u003c\/em\u003e is a systems-thinking approach for managing resources developed by Savory decades ago after observing the devastation of desertification in his native Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Properly managed livestock are key to restoring the world's grassland soils, a major sink for atmospheric carbon, and minimizing the most damaging impacts on humans and the natural world. This book updates Savory's paradigm-changing vision for reversing desertification, stemming the loss of biodiversity, eliminating fundamental causes of human impoverishment throughout the world, and addressing climate change. Reorganized chapters make it easier for readers to understand the framework for holistic management and the four key insights that underlie it. New colour photographs showcase before-and-after examples of land restored by livestock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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. It offers new hope that a sustainable future for humankind and the world we depend on is within reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47932208808172,"sku":"9781610917438","price":96.59,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781610917438-holistic-management-third-edition.jpg?v=1783857003"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/jody-butterfield-1.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
