Response to Critiques

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[1] in response to scientific evidence showing that the beef supply White Oak Pastures provides for General Mills was heavily greenwashed. [2] 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."[3]
