Background

Discussed in "The Regenerative Ranching racket": <https://medium.com/@unpopularscience/the-regenerative-ranching-racket-fe6cce917a42>

and "How Big Ag Bankrolled Regenerative Ranching": <https://jacobin.com/2022/03/big-agriculture-funding-regenerative-ranching-amp-grazing-soil-carbon>

American Grassfed Association

On June 23 (year unknown), Allan Savory was one of three featured speakers in the American Grassfed Association (AGA) Ranch Day line-up.[1] The event was held at the Flying B Bar Ranch near Denver, Colorado, which directed attendees to visit the website of the Savory Institute for more information, or to buy tickets.[2]

The Savory Method

According to Allan Savory, scientific evidence against his methods is irrelevant because Holistic Management "cannot be peer-reviewed." He has made this argument several times, perhaps most recently on Twitter in March of 2021[3] in response to scientific evidence showing that the beef supply White Oak Pastures provides for General Mills was heavily greenwashed. [4] White Oak Pastures is a "frontier founder" of the Savory Institute Land to Market program, which falsely advertised WOP's products as "carbon-negative beef."[5]

Kiss the Ground

In the regenerative agriculture documentary Kiss the Ground, Allan Savory attributes poverty & violence in the Global South to rising populations & poor land management[6]
