Allan Savory. Using herd-grazing to fight desertification
Allan Savory's TED talk.
I've posted this here because it addresses many of the anti-grazing attacks on Paleo/Low-carb eating as requiring "unsustainable" and "inefficient" land use.
The common objection being "you should be growing cereals/soy, not meat".
A notable phrase Allan uses about desert edge land (at 18.30) is
"95% of that land can only feed people through animals".
That struck me as a powerful phrase. The best sort of education that startles almost as much as it teaches.
All the more so because his theories run 180 degrees contrary to accepted groupthink on the subject of land use.
Many additional talks in sidebar, including some suitably outraged veggie types!
This was one of the most interesting videos on climate change I've ever seen.Thank you so much for including the link.
What a great piece of information providing proof that the paleo lifestyle is not only sustainable in mass,but might be preferable.
Obviously we will never return to living like cavemen,but adopting some of their traits including diet,physical activity and treading lightly on our environment might help extend our lives,as well as the planets.
The 4600 reindeer herd in the Canadian Arctic is free ranging & not fed any other food except what they get by digging under the snow. Reindeer never deplete the reindeer moss. This herd furnishes a lot of people with wonderful healthy meat & no damage to the environment.

Oh, I don't know. If global warming gets bad enough we might.
