    Thank you for this interview! I see now, regarding policy, that we must focus on the problem we want to resolve. Perhaps the ideas discussed here also apply to governments where citizens must be given more power, not political parties. "Let's try something new"...

      It is not a theory. It has been proven all over the world. That is why it is called holistic management.

      He on a personal level doesn't focus on that specifically, he is an old man, and has a hard time getting his point across. There will still be more carbon in the ground in very brittle areas than if you don't graise it and you can't, it would take large machinery to forest the desert in at a large enough scale to capture the same amount of carbon at the same scale.

    Those that shaped a world around you of which you suffer for, those that developed influences in order to punish you, those that lay paths for you to get lost trying to navigate, those that thought hate was an effective way for you to appreciate love, those that see all the things that make you absolutely awesome as a conflicting threat or problem to solve,,,,,,, ,you do not need to learn of others to truly understand yourself,,,, in that moment when you honestly desire to be the best possible element of someone else's life you create the necessary conditions to germinate a seed within you that will remain dormant unless those specific conditions arise...! recognise that evolution requires then most specific précised and rare conditions possible,,,,, so become!

    Allen, I got a good one for you. Last year I wondered or all these windmills wouldn't retard airmasses and so gathering more moisture than normal (and so more rain? at longer intervals?). A more serious problem was already that we have no ways to cool our earth.
    That brought me on the idea of spanning large areas with knitted rustfree iron thread (cm2 and a thickness of 0.1 mm). In the Netherlands they use pylons of 80 mtr. high that can cover 800 mtr. of high voltage cables. In a square such a net could support gutters made of flexible solar cells to collect rain and ban lightnings. This all in my idea of solving\countering the global trends in urbanisation.
    This comes very close to your approach. If this is economically viable, it could spread real fast. Really cooling the hottest areas should impact climate in a good way (half of sunlight can be reflected back into the atmosphere). If the cooling would get substantial, it could induce moisture on the net. Ultimately dams could be replaced by such a decentralising concept for clean water at pressure and electricity in abundance. You are the 17th platform I tried to reach in the last two weeks. No one has reacted, sounds similar doesn't it.\
    If interested I can also solve the drug problems by invoking a new law that prohibits to carry medicine when unaware of the content(jail sentences, also to keep people alive), as this kills people..If only qualified helping personal and pharmacies can provide drugs, they can as well outcompete criminality because of the cheapness of fentanyl; which is now exactly a main cause of the problems.
    Good luck with this all. vosforr@gmail.com

    930 building at the height of the statue of liberty and the width of the Giza Pyramid would house every person in England with ample space for other functions and other applications this would leave 99.9621% of the total land area free for rewilding .industry and leisure and agriculture.. this would also increase the efficiency of all other infrastructure and the distribution of goods are services substantially....! The attempts will be mitigation in order to change as little as is humanly possible the genuine solutions will come from a change in trajectory....!

    It's a great theory, but you forget that the animals need to be controlled by people. That means loads of fencing and cutting large sections of land into smaller pockets.
    In other words, this technique is every bit as intensive that we are currently doing. It's great for commercial farming, but very complex when trying to manage wildlife areas.

    Dear Professor Savary, I have followed your work, like many others have for decades. Much of my work is regenerative. Farmer has its origins in your work. However, I have to dig issue with your assessment of human nature and peoples ability to make decisions on their own regarding their land. This refers back to the tragedy of the Commonwealth, and the collapse of the many civilizations that you referred to within this discussion. The problem is a lack of leadership and an inability to understand that society needs to sacrifice, nominal growth for longevity, and that if there is not a dynamic balance that is accepted within the leadership narrative, and if on the contrary, continued exponential growth, both of material goods, energy usage and population is desired like any other organism that will lead to civilization collapse. At the moment we need leadership, not democratic rule to layout of path for an orderly growth of the current civilization to analyze what can be maintained, and passed along to create the foundation of a new civilization, which will hopefully be based more on stewardship cooperation, and an acknowledgment of our responsibilityas the Apex predator in this world out of a place of self interest to maintain an attitude looking towards the long-term well-being of the entire super organism of life

      private land ownership is the key to better land management - somebody has to make a decision - make bad decisions you lose your land - acquire too much land you tax it

    • @SeegerInstitute
      @SeegerInstitute หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ Jack, I agree that private land ownership is the key, but I don’t think the taxation is the response. I think we have to look back to a point at which communities understood that their long-term well-being depended on stewardship for the land and a connection to the land. Taxation impliessystem which came along time after we lost touch with our interdependence and interconnection with the land

      taxes are essential - land must be profitable - so there is a balance - england by the way is the mother of all democratic nations for better or worst - would you prefer to live in russia, china or iran ??

      @SeegerInstitute หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ Jack, do we completely discount the contributions by the Greek people in the Athenians? Are my only choices, Russia, China, or Iran? Can I pick Scandinavia instead? I’m not denying the importance of taxes. It just seems like the current institutions are somewhat ossified. I think there’s an opportunity for new institutions funded by wealthy people along the lines of those created by the Nordic people hundred years ago to inspire an ethos evolution. Right now I think we can reframe the discussion about climate change, making the case that environmental remediation on global scale presents an opportunity for investment by wealthy people into local communities in the form of private Commonwealth to catalyze a transition to more local economies based on regenerative agriculture and green energy. It’s basically an insurance policy against a failing financial system, let me know your thoughts
