In the holistic planned grazing process, livestock are used as a tool to reverse the biodiversity loss that leads to desertification — a major contributor to climate change. Yet critics argue that livestock grazing, in almost all circumstances, is a net contributor to climate warming.

Join us in a key debate on this controversial topic between a founder and leading proponent of Holistic Management (Allan Savory) and a prominent critic (George Monbiot). The event will be chaired by Professor E.J. Milner-Gulland, Tasso Leventis Professor of Biodiversity at the University of Oxford.

Entry to this event is free, but please book in advance.
