“Eat more beef to save the planet.” - a seemingly contradictory statement given what we are continuously being told by scientists and environmental campaigners. And yet, so-called holistic grazing or regenerative animal agriculture is becoming more commonly discussed as a way to combat climate change. With the latest Netflix documentary Kiss the Ground also claiming that grazing livestock animals is beneficial for the planet.
Holistic grazing is an idea popularised by Allan Savory, a Zimbabwean born livestock farmer.
Holistic grazing is the notion that by mimicking the rotational patterns of wild grazers and intensively grazing large numbers of animals, we can reverse desertification, increase the health of soils and sequester carbon.
Savory boldly claims that if we took just half of the world’s grasslands we could absorb enough carbon to return the world’s atmosphere to pre-industrial levels.
But what does the science say?

It's sad to think that many people will believe in this BS. Netflix shouldn't allow a misleading "documentary" like this in their platform. Such a shame!
Hi Ed. I love your videos and would like to know is holistic grazing is the same or similar as forest management with sheeps and goats? Maybe you have more info on that, because I have positive info that they help to reduce bush fires, because goats love eating all sort of spiky and hard bushes. So they let them go free in the area they want to reduce these invasive bushes to allow other plants to grow. Thank you I hope to hear from you soon.
woooooo Cleary you did not watch the whole documentary!!!! they said right near the end the two diets to move forward are VEGAN and a Regenerative Diet which removes factory farming. I prefer every one to GO VEGAN, but the claims you have made are quite in accuracy. When you stop tilling soil !!! only then you can rebuild soil heath that was the biggest push they were saying. are you for synthetic fertilizer and round up on soil to stop weed growth and pests, cause with out a NO Till system you will never achieve a soil pH that is conducive to high yeild plant growth and not weeds and pests this documentary had its faults by no were as bad as you just made it sound. Trust me I want a Vegan world but this would be the first step and reducing and stopping animal consumption will follow once a new system is set up. NO TILL is the future of Crop Production and that should be the take away from this documentary. Did you even Hear the word Vegan? cause it was said right near the end I was even shocked my self because "The Game Changers" did not even use that word.
It´s unfortunate that vegans delude themselves to the point that they believe animal agriculture is the primary cause of deforestation, when in reality it´s actually the construction industry. You know, building the usual stuff, like houses where people live (that includes self-entitled vegans).
And deforestation itself isn´t even a problem, because it´s in the interest of private forest companies to restore and replant forest areas which result in massive profits for them. Companies like for example Brinkman, Terviva, Guayaki, Ecosia, Pueblo Nuevo, Komaza, Lyme Timber, Symbiosis, Tentree, BioCarbon Engineering, F3 Life, Domtar, EcoPlanet Bamboo, Hypro AB, New Forests, ConFor. These are just a few examples of forest companies from all over the world that annually invest millions and millions of dollars in reforestation projects (this is apart from the timber that they harvest).
Not only are they all forced by Law to plant more trees, it´s also in their own interest to keep planting new trees because it means more profits for them. It´s simply idiotic the claim that vegans make that we are running out of forests.
By the way, animal agriculture isn´t the leading cause of climate change. It´s fossil fuel emissions in the industrial sector. Metallurgy, plastics, brick & concrete production, car manufacturing, electrical energy production. The industrial sector is responsible for at least 75% of all global greenhouse gases, not animal agriculture.
I grew up in Zimbabwe, and when I heard how Alan Savory slaughtered 40,000 elephants on a whim, I was appalled. The work of Alan Savory must be dismantled and assigned to the dustbin of history. We must switch to a fully plant-based economy. Thank you for this much needed video! - Robbie
Thanks, I thought I recognized him.
nice strawman that has nothing to do with the topic.
@@v.a.n.e. It is everything to do with the topic. The man is a false prophet.
@@v.a.n.e. it's not a strawman because they weren't arguing against holistic grazing. They were just making the point that anyone who decides to slaughter 40,000 elephants clearly has some serious mental problems. So try harder next time
yes... he is pure evil. 40,000 beautiful elephants murdered for his pseudoscience
"Why mimic nature when nature can simply exist there instead?" WOW, this hit different. 🌱❤️
Because that isnt feasible under a plant based system. Because animals would become pests and have to be eradicated, under a vegan farming system.
@@jeremymartin3816 Right because 70 billion animals aren't already eradicated every year for human consumption. That makes sense. I'd love to see the research you conducted to reach your fascinating conclusion.
@@jeremymartin3816 It's funny... you oppose a vegan farming system because you think it would eradicate animals, but you don't seem to mind all the animals who are slaughtered to satisfy your taste buds!
@@jueatsplants8154 rather than just being eradicated because they are a pest? Yes animals have a use, and we make money off them. So you would rather live in a world where the animals have no use at all in fact they are a pest to be killed and left to rot? Dosent sound like you care to much about animals at all.
@@jeremymartin3816 you're thinking about the best possible scenario in a non-vegan world, but then a vegan world, you think of the worst. Otherwise you wouldn't have made a comment like that.
Ignorance of the world today is sad 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ thanks for looking out for animals Ed!
Edit: also thanks for caring about the environment
I like how he names the video "literal BS" 😁😁 👌🏽
Animal ag will outlive you your kids and grandkids
This is so true but fundamental misunderstanding of "looking out for " animals and "caring for the environment". Presented as valid scientific review (it isn't) and advertising veganism in the top right hand corner. No prizes.
He's a very unsavoury character
Here in Brazil we can see damn well just how "regenerative" grass-fed beef production really is. Just take a look at what is happening to the Amazon just to make way for pasture land
They wanna feed us with scientific lies
They are cutting the Amazon down for mainly soy. Nothing to do with GRASS feed beef. And you should research some of the pastures that have been reverted from desert in America, Australia and Africa due to holistic farming practices.
@@jeremymartin3816 Over 91% of deforestation in the Amazon is directly related to animal farming -- over 79% of the world's soy beans are not for human consumption but for livestock feed. Nobody had to convince me on those numbers I have SEEN in person just how destructive livestock farming truly is. I hope you stop being selfish and emotionally attached to "your" meat and see the truth: killing animals is killing us too.
@@jeremymartin3816 here are some receipts for you.
Globally animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation and species loss. Let's take some specific examples:
"Cattle ranching is the largest driver of deforestation in every Amazon country, accounting for 80% of current deforestation rates. Amazon Brazil is home to approximately 200 million head of cattle, and is the largest exporter in the world, supplying about one quarter of the global market."
- Global Forest Atlas, Yale University (globalforestatlas.yale.edu/amazon/land-use/cattle-ranching)
Think about that next time you shove a burger in your face while you read about the Amazon burning. Or maybe consider Australia, where the livestock industry is again the primary cause of deforestation and consequent habitat loss, species extinction:
"Projections suggest that 3 million hectares of untouched forest will have been bulldozed in eastern Australia by 2030, thanks to a thriving livestock industry and governments that refuse to step in."
- Australia's Biodiversity at Breaking Point, The Guardian (www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/may/15/australias-biodiversity-at-breaking-point-a-picture-essay)
Yes deforestation for soy to feed to cattle. GRASS FEED cattle are FEED GRASS. It has nothing to do with regenerative farming at all so why being it up?
“The scientific method never discovers anything”, yeh, tell that to Kepler, Newton, Curie, Einstein, and 350 years of scientific discovery.
Yes, what a brainless quote! I couldn't laugh hard enough at that. The guy debunks himself. Why do people listen to him?

How is their work verifiable?
That statement is correct. Science is done to prove or disprove a hypothesis. It is an observation of something that is already there but no-one had paid any attention to or had the ability to comprehend. That was the point he was making.
There are nearly 8 billion of us humans consuming and growing, and we are living like we have several planets worth of natural resources.
Exactly and it’s mainly due to humans being more widespread and consuming more I’d say cut the population in half and stop gluttony because people eat too much food and that overconsumption then causes diseases
@@Assassin99584 yes thats what we will have to do if we continue with conventional ag. You cant keep destroying soil forever.
@@Forester-qs5mf I’m all for looking into sustainability
@@Assassin99584 Unfortuantely Sustainable doesnt cut it anymore. You cant sustain a degrading resource. You need to be Regenerative. Grasslands are one of the largest areas on the earths surface. Animals are integral in their regeneration. We know it can be done as its been done in the past. We just have to be smart enough to learn from that. But the good news is that its already happening and the movement is growing globally. So there is some hope.
@@Forester-qs5mf as long as no one tries to stop me eating what I want I have no issues with that
My biology teacher recommended us that documentarie -_- omgs. And I always debunk her at the class with scientific facts, but of course, because I am a student my opinion (scientifically proven to we true) isn't valid... I hate the school system, always disregarding students opinions just because is different, and validating adults opinions just because they are adults -_-
That must be so frustrating! I can imagine how annoying that would be
Adults are worth listening to. Children are not.
If you want more facts check out scientists Dr Christine Jones and Dr Elaine Ingham!
You are insane, just like Ed or even worse as he might be a pawn.
I am sooo glad for people like you, for aktivists and for every vegan that's trying to bring awareness.

I'm sorry I came across as attacking, I can assure you it is all driven by a deep care for creating a better planet.
I could find plenty of relevant sources but the incentive to want to find the true problems and the true solutions has to be there in the first place for a person to want to invest time in researching.
Allan Savory's book is a great resources if a person holds these values described.

Omg, thaaaaank you for this. Allan Savory drives me mad. Horticulturalist and current enviro-science student here. People advocate for this here in Australia even though there are no large, cloven hoofed grazing animals native to Australia. In fact grazing animals are the reason for the extreme environmental degradation that occurred immediately after European settlement.
thanks for that experience. I would be grateful if you have any useful research list which covers this topic for Australia. I try to get the best information out there that I can.
Yep Savory drives me mad also. I recently read George Monbiots "Regenisis" and I can't disagree with his main arguments. If we have the technical ability to produce our protien, calorific and material needs without exploiting animals or burning fossil fuels, then to not pursue policy which leads us in that direction is nutty. I say this as a livestock farmer. I'm totally open to critiquing the system I'm embedded in if there's a better way.

"Why mimic nature, when nature can simply exist there instead?"
Ed, I love you.
Because it isn't here anymore, there used to be many many herds larger than the eye could see, which maintained and regenerated much of the worlds ecosystems.
This is honestly dumb logic. Ed literally says in the video that the deforestation is caused by cattle that were led to go wild. This is why nature can’t simply exist. He really is contradictory in this video. I would advise doing your own research on this topic as Ed is extremely bias. He picks and chooses studies words them in away that is pro vegan it is very confusing and misleading. This is why identify politics and free thought can not coexist. The ego takes over as it seeks affirmation. Not to mention Ed’s lively hood is based on being vegan. His core beliefs are tied to his income.
@@Rayray-yl1ed Agree, this topic can not be approached with prejudices which is a symptom of ego, its too important for ego.
@@Gustav4 👌🏻👌🏻 Ed no longer being vegan = no longer having a sustainable income.
^ this isn’t necessarily something that he is conscious of.It’s obvious that he cares for the environment. But he will never seek real truth if all he is doing is trying to win arguments it’s not sustainable he can’t keep this up. He’s at war everyday.
He must be exhausted

No not really because sequestration of carbon in the form of organic mater grown on regenerative farms has not been addressed in this video or by the scientific experts. Also scientists claim that the amount of organic matter grown on majority of regenerative farms is only possible over 100s of years which most are achieving over 10-20.
@@jeremymartin3816 Citations please
Regenerative agriculture has been practiced in the French countryside for years. However, before there were grasslands in these locations there were ... Woodlands ! And given the countless studies on woodland's ability to efficiently sequester loads of carbon, pastures , as holistically managed as they are, will never come close to locking away as much carbon ..
Afforestation remains a better solution for doing so ..
Aye and starve people at the same time.
@Juba - يوبا - ⵊⵓⴱⴰ mate I studied chemistry , sustainable agriculture as master level and now I’ve been an agronomist for 4 years. Forgive me if I don’t really need to watch RUclips for facts on this topic. Carbon emissions are not the only factor in sustainability, for example soil health, crop rotation, soil ability and many more I could name. Your vegan utopia is flawed. But if you have read the news lately here in the uk subsidies are gonna be based on environmental impact so we are an industry that adapts hence why it’s one of the oldest. Animal produce methane, methane might be more potent, but it’s the CO2 from cars ect that are the real problem as it’s in the atmosphere for 100 years. Methane is gone in 12 years and some studies show that European agriculture systems sequester as much carbon as they produce. Obviously Amazon rainforest beef is terrible, no one denies that, but here in the uk it’s not bad. A lot of these studies include Amazon beef and it skews the studies but where you have established pasture land that are perfect conditions and climate for grass- why not utilise it.
Actually healthy grasslands have the potential to sequester far more carbon than woodlands do as they have a far denser root structures underground. Look up the work of scientists like Dr Christine Jones and Dr Elaine Ingham if you would like to know how it all actually works.
@@JakeJonesx true but they only sequester a percentage of the carbon that the livestock emit

Grass-fed, free range, organic, regenerative farming, humanely slaughtered -- all but labels to sustain middle-class hipocrisy about their meat
Organic farming is the future tho. Uses less water, less land and little to no chemicals and pesticides are used in contrast to industrial farming. Instead of animal fertilizers, we can use compost in organic agriculture, therefore no animals need to be bred for our consumption. I’m talking about organic crop production ofc.
@@moalenn Yes I agree. Veganic Farming is also a very good idea
@@moalenn Yes that is the important distinction, current 'organic' farming is more likely to use animal fertiliser. As a vegan, I avoid organic food. Veganic farming is the way to go!
@@bengilkes7676 unless you grow your own food, or know a farmer who does not use any animal fertilizer, you’re still buying vegi and fruits grown with animal fertilizer. Also, animal fertilizers are not the problem, it’s the animal agriculture and animal farming. As more people transition into veganism, the use of animal fertilizers will decline and the use of farming compost will rise.
@@moalenn I avoid organic, so the products I buy use LESS animal fertiliser. They are definitely a big part of the problem - use of animal by-products make them products. As a vegan I try to reduce my indirect support of the animal agriculture industry as much as possible.

Informative video !! Ecosystems understanding and restoration is a huge need to debunk the false propoaganda of animal farming and meat consumption. Altering global environment at alarming rate, alters Earth's ability to sustian life.
It is a good way to speed up the restoration of "already-degraded" land locally to a certain point, but there are many other methods that can accomplish this easily, not just the Savory method. You just need to get enough organic matter and primary production to cross the "tipping point". Nothing about the Savory method can "reverse" climate change if it does not displace bad industrial animal production.

Great work again.
Yes, cows emit carbon to the atmosphere, but, unlike fossil fuels, they don't add NEW carbon to the atmosphere. The carbon they emit came from the plants they ate, which in turn came from the atmosphere in the first place. It's a cycle, no new co2, just the same carbon circulating. We also have to take in consideration that plants and cows (through manure) store carbon in the soil, improving its fertility.
So, claims like in 1:38 make ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.
Great work as always Ed.

@@no1aviator Yes thank the animal agriculture industry for that, it's the leading cause of ocean dead zones, desertification, animal extinction, habitat destruction, and so on. You're criticizing this guy while you kill and eat bodies of dead animals every day on your plate. Whatever you think vegans do that is bad, you are doing far worse because 80% of our agricultural land is fed to livestock, only 20% of the crops we grow is human food.
@@justmegawatt lol fertilisers cause dead zones. The fertiliser runs off into the oceans and cause algae to bloom and sucks up oxygen in the oceans. This is caused by plant agriculture. Pesticides cause animal extinctions, plant agriculture is responsible for that also. Vegan like to say animal agriculture is holocaust lol. Animal agriculture breeds animals, it’s not trying to wipe them from the face of the planet lol. Vegans are so gullible and deluded. Pahahaha!!! 55% of crop is grown for people, 36% of for animals and the rest is for biofuels. Damn you’re so lost and indoctrinated

Thanks Ed, I crossed upon savory’s claims just a few weeks ago and it let me quite confused, I was needing this debunk video.
The future of organic agriculture, a regenerative and sustainable system of agriculture has to be vegan. I hope this awareness expand soon to this spaces of permaculture, etc, where it exists a true questioning about the current models of societal structures and our relation with the entire planet, but i feel not so much with how we view non human animals. The explotation and abuse of animals cant be sustainable or permanent, they are here with us and not for us.
Hi Matias! I was searching the comment section for someone else thinking about permaculture here. I'm quite new to it, studying as much as I can, and I'm very impressed by many of the intelligent designs that it proposes, but it worries me that, at least in Spain, most of the PC organisations are sold on the idea of holistic management and there's very little talk of vegan permaculture. One of the founders of permaculture, Bill Mollison, used to make fun of vegetarians even! Darren Doherty, one of the main figures in this movement, is also pro-holistic management. That so many intelligent people are backing this makes me wonder whether there's some economic interest behind, just plain ignorance or whether they're just not seeing the possibility of a more sustainable, vegan option.
@@mtornerorubio Thanks for the reply!! I feel glad to know someone with the same “worry”. I have the sensation that it is something that will change soon (i dont really know why haha) and if not.. maybe is us who have to plant a seed and water it until it blossom 💚

As you say, maybe it is us we have to plant the seed! I'm also optimistic that more people will start to see animals not as resources but as companions and also see that's the most advantageous way for our ecosystems and our health at the same time! :)
"The future of organic agriculture, a regenerative and sustainable system of agriculture has to be vegan" At least in our system. In other poorer arid or colder regions it may look different. Also for self-sufficency set-ups. It needs objective research. Non-extractive mix with animals - might be an option in some places, too. Whatever is necessary to feed the world with least impact and most regeneration.
Well done Ed, thank you
Great video, Ed :)

great video Ed!
Simply fantastic! Ed keep going!
Fun fact, soil microbiology and fertility is done by bacteria and fungi and insects, not from bigger animals.
Man, you are amazing. Thank you for everything you are doing for the vegan community. I am a new vegan but I am so happy I am in this community ❤️
Welcome! :)
