Buffalo Branding
In the Climate Collaborative's 2020 report on Regenerative Standards, three standards were featured, with the most space given to the Savory Institute's.
Savory's presentation began with a slide showing a lone bison grazing, with the caption "facilitating the large scale restoration of the world's grasslands" and the Savory Institute's logo.[1]
Decentralized Network
Self-Definition: Savory = "Decentralized Nodal Network"[2]
There are many Savory Hubs, Frontier Founders, and other organizations affiliated with the Savory Institute.
Land to Market
Savory's regenerative accreditation program, "Land to Market,"
Methane Greenwashing
On its website, the Savory Institute claims that "the benefits of eco-restoration through Holistic Management far outweigh methane emissions resulting from livestock" because "soil-based decomposition of methane may be equal to or greater than ruminant methane production."[3]
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association—which lobbied for meatpacking plants to remain open during the pandemic—dispatched its former senior director of sustainable beef production research, Sara Place, to assure the conservative media host Glenn Beck[4] that methane emissions from “cow farts” were “fake news” and that cattle “are part of the climate change solution.”[5]
Sara Place is also featured by the Savory Institute, which promoted[6] an article she penned for the Beef: It's What's For Dinner blog, arguing that:
The social battle underway about what type of agriculture is best (local vs. non-local, vegan vs. omnivore, organic vs. conventional, grass-fed vs. grain-fed) is getting us nowhere.[7]
and: "we need... sustainability... regardless of the production system."
