The manner in which we have managed livestock for centuries results in both carbon and water moving from soil to atmosphere, and to soil life being less able to break down methane.

For other species, we are their spokespersons and it is up to us to acknowledge our indebtedness to them: to all of the soldiers that make our soil, our atmosphere, our rivers and seas and forests the life sustaining ecosystems that have given us our breath, our dreams, our hopes.

FORBES: "A Memorial Day for the Environment"

In the 1960s, realizing that only livestock could reverse desertification, I developed a consistently successful grazing planning process that mimics nature using livestock so that both carbon and water move from atmosphere to soil and soil life is more able to break down methane.

The concept: When crops are planted without tilling, the soil holds more carbon, which means less goes up into the atmosphere.
