I've been praying for this movement since I saw the TED talk more than a dozen years ago, so relieved that it is taking hold, and this video is much more "consumable" than many others. One thing I've prayed for is that the quality of the social media messages will come in a much more absorbable form, content-wise, so that more people can consume then for EFFECTIVENESS.
He discusses signs of the DAMAGE caused by a brittle climate. To summarize: "Brittleness" is describing the humidity of the air across the year. If an area has mostly constant humidity like a jungle, brittleness is low. If the seasonal swings are wider, so wet season is humid for a shorter time and then a shift to dry season where growth must stop, that would be more brittle. Maximum brittleness would be a one-day monsoon season and then a sharp whiplash to a dry season of months on end. The rains humidify the air briefly, the slashing rain claws at the ground, the ground has nothing to keep any water in, no absorbent organic matter, so that precious moisture is gone. It flows off erosively and what trace of humidity is left is dried away until next year in hours.
This gentleman would be my recipient for a next Nobel prize. Which one I'm not sure, but the possibilities are such, even the Peace Nobel should not be ruled out. Hope you keep doing this marvelous work for years to come.
in the explanations of a non-brittle area, I am finding the lack of mentioning fungus or mycelium as one of the necessary components quite disturbing for with out the fungus grass will not break down nor would and woody component. To have a healthy grass land is to have a healthy balance of fungus, this is also required for breaking down cellulose-based manure
That's the West Bijou Ranch in Strasburg, CO. It's a bison ranch that, at the time of filming, had just been transferred over to Savory Institute's ownership and stewardship.
This is for me, Listening and watching like am an expert, am almost expert now, don't know what it is but I can just see the images of what needs to happen to manage the grazing land and the animals.
I expect he approached them respectfully, and they probably are used to humans providing them fresh forage. I read a profile of Great Plains Buffalo Company recently, and they move them on one hot wire like cattle.
Go to the YT channel called 'No-Till On The Plains'. You will get a very expensive education for free. The videos are long because this is a classroom. The world's best farmer is a man in North Dakota named Gabe Brown. Where are you? I'd like to hear more from you
I have yet to finish the HM book (I think it's somewhere in a pile of books) but I think brittleness has to do with the local climate year long, not just a season. You have high deserts that get snow and ice in the winter but that snow melts, there's nothing holding the water in the soil, and then the water turns into flash floods and goes away.

Why this video has so less comments. It should be more prominent in the RUclips algorithm.
Imagine this way of thinking being implemented over great areas, regions, lands and continents. World would be close to paradise!
and no climate change bullshit . Yes we have consumerism and polution !!
You are a blessing to our world, Allan 👏👏
the world didn't believe the earth was round all at once, lol that's how far I'm willing to bet on Allan Savory!
This should have 15 million views by now. cut and paste it where you can spread the word
Solid gold wisdom/knowledge
It's the entire precious metals of the elements table.
Wow, thank you.
Holistic management is the way!

Great explanation!

What land was Allan on in the first part?
That's the West Bijou Ranch in Strasburg, CO. It's a bison ranch that, at the time of filming, had just been transferred over to Savory Institute's ownership and stewardship.
What does he mean when he says "rest"?
As in literal rest/recovery for the plot of land (i.e. without being grazed)?
Yes, rest is when you remove animal impact from the land.
This is for me, Listening and watching like am an expert, am almost expert now, don't know what it is but I can just see the images of what needs to happen to manage the grazing land and the animals.
Do you have livestock?
Umm Allan, what the hell are you doing standing in the herd of bison? They are not know for being very docile.
He is a bison Whisperer
@@cleburne-dfwseptic6843 he is used to lions and elephants... maybe the bison seem tame in comparison
I expect he approached them respectfully, and they probably are used to humans providing them fresh forage. I read a profile of Great Plains Buffalo Company recently, and they move them on one hot wire like cattle.
I follow a guy that raises them. He is always with his. I guess it depends on how they are raised.
Such simplicity but such truth. Thank you for sharing such profound insights 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Allen, trampling not fire, kind of makes ya wonder..? With the crop circles were Angels trying to speek to us. Regardless who made them..!???
i too wanna be a good farmer but i don't know where to start

Have you taken any steps?
@@downbntout ty, does Gabe Brown have a youtube channel?
@@HakuCell search his name, settle in and be ready to take notes.
@@downbntout , if i search his name i find some videos but not his channel
How does having a cold snowy winter affect brittleness?
I have yet to finish the HM book (I think it's somewhere in a pile of books) but I think brittleness has to do with the local climate year long, not just a season. You have high deserts that get snow and ice in the winter but that snow melts, there's nothing holding the water in the soil, and then the water turns into flash floods and goes away.
Let's rock n roll

Same here!! Happy that more and more people saw that video
Thank you so much for your teaching
Thanks to these great people.
