Grazing to Heal the Earth | Wendy Pratt | TEDxIdahoFalls 

Wendy . . . You nailed it! Keep hammering and we will too. The Cottons, Jim and Janene

Bravo!!! As always, the problems are way more complicated and nature is way smarter than us!

Excellent presentation of a vitally important message. Thank you for this. Going to share it on my Facebook timeline.

Absolutely brilliant video, thanks for this! This is the kind of education that needs to make the mainstream media because right now it's far more about how going 'vegan is better' and so much false information being promoted.

Any botanist knows this, yes in addition grass stores more co2 in the soil enriching and forming carbonic acid that help leach some of the minerals. Yes full water cycle can apply

It's been my pleasure to go to school with some of the Pratt kids. Great Idahoan family, and great ted talk! Wow! Go Idaho!

Thank you very much for this brilliant talk! You're absolutely right and it's fine to have people like you talking about it. Go on! Thank you 🙏🏻

This talk flies in the face of science.

Thank you, this proves the Creators Word and love for alle living creatures: "And to every beast of the earth and to every fowl of the air and to every thing that moves upon the earth, in which there is a living soul, I have given all green grass for food; and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good" (Genesis 1).

Thank you!

Well said

As a former working cowboy and a long-time environmental geographer, I'll say this: you're right on the mark...KUDOS! The problem isn't grazing animals, it's how they are managed by humans. Thanks for spreading the word. Happy Trails

This is so fascinating!!

Excellent.

I've been persuaded. From sick and obese to lean and well. All in less than a year. You have my support.

Te gek, wat goed verteld!

Awesome video but why did Ted talk take down Alan Savory saying the same thing!?!

just what I was looking for, thanks!

For more info on the reversal of desertification go to the source, look up Allan Savory

We are not omnivores we are facultative carnivore but other than that misconception good information.

Wow that's brilliant and works like she said: whether you choose to eat meat or not

If a cattle operation is introduced to a grassland, then it is disrupting the native wildlife, including ruminants, creating health in that ecosystem. The keystone predators are culled to avoid losses on the ranch and the native ruminants are also culled to avoid competition with the invasive beef cattle and because after we kill off the natural predators, "we need to hunt them to protect the balance of nature" (never mind that we caused the problem by culling the keystone species or that human hunters actually don't replace the native predators functionally; not behaving the same and thus not promoting biodiversity the same way ). If the cattle operation is introduced in an environment that is not already grassland then, the land needs to be manipulated to grow grass, again destructive, invasive species.

i strtongly disagree with david kniggle. he is profitting no doubt from this arrangement with oit national land. the rest of us lose.
