Are you interested in the future of agriculture? What do you think about holistic contexts for better urban futures? How can we manage our resources better?
Interview with Allan Savory, President at Savory Institute. We will talk about his vision for the future of cities, agriculture, holistic contexts, regeneration vs sustainability, resource management as the main cause for our challenges, and many more.
Allan Savory, born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and educated at the University of Natal, began as a research biologist and game ranger in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia). His career spanned being a soldier, farmer, rancher, international ecological consultant and Member of Parliament. He opposed Ian Smith’s regime, leading to his 1979 exile to the U.S. There, he co-founded the Savory Institute in 2009 that globally promotes his life’s work Holistic Management described in his book, Holistic Management: A Commonsense Revolution to Restore Our Environment. (2016). Savory received Australia’s 2003 Banksia Award for the person doing the most for the environment on a global scale. His 2013 TED talk explaining desertification garnered over 9 million views.
