If you're not that excited about the soil, grass, animals or ranchers, well, the maker of yesterday's video isn't either. But his interest lies here:
"I’m fascinated with [that new kind of] grazing because of its potential to help slow climate change . . .Via photosynthesis, plants suck CO2 out of the air, give us oxygen (O2) to breathe and send carbon down t[o] their roots . . " The dead roots lock up carbon for decades, where it can bond with the soil and stay underground for centuries.
Biologist Allan Savory (whose TED talk went viral) claims that "holistic management" of livestock can regenerate soil and grasslands for the benefit of humanity - and can also stop climate change by capturing CO2:
"Ultimately, the only wealth that can sustain any community, economy or nation is derived from the photosynthetic process—green plants growing on regenerating soil.
