Holistic Management - Sequestering Carbon While Restoring Grasslands

Region:

Innovation Blurb: 
Restoring Soil Fights Climate Change

By looking at the environment as a series of interconnected systems, Holistic Management is changing how we think about soil, climate and carbon mitigation through grasslands restoration. Using low tech and ecologically viable methods, tens of millions of acres of degraded soils around the world are being restored to healthy, biodiverse ecosystems by modifying grazing patterns on fragile land. By accessing degraded lands for selective livestock grazing, Holistic Management is also helping to sequester carbon, hold water, and create sustainable economies for local farmers.

Lots of emails regarding photo permissions. This project is going live shortly and the text associated with the graphic with read: http://www.holisticmanagement.org By looking at the environment as a series of interconnected , self-orgranizing biological systems, Holistic Management is changing how we think about soil, climate and carbon mitigation through grasslands restoration. Using low tech and ecologically viable methods, tens of millions of acres of degraded soils around the world are being restored to healthy, biodiverse landscapes by planning livestock grazing (focusing on the recovery needs of the grasses) to create biologically active soil and improve arid and temperate land. Using the tools of grazing and animal impact through livestock, Holistic Management is also helping to sequester carbon, hold water, and create sustainable economies for local farmers. Your permission to use a graphic would be greatly appreciated. I believe we already have one lined up, we just need your go ahead. Thank you!
