Chris Gill: Doing what works
"I am a businessman for whom ranching and wildlife/habitat restoration are avocations...I have been responsible for the management of ranches in Uruguay; near Austin, Texas, in the Texas hill country and...
...increasing our livestock 400%...Forage taken has tripled. (Die Rechnung stimmt, denn es verbessert sich auch die Futterqualität, s.o. Brix)
...
We made a plan to move our herd so that we would know where they were going months ahead, always locating them for the right reasons, at the right time with right behaviour.
...
I read the book's citations and identified 20 peer-reviewed papers which had "proven" that Savory's claims were untrue! On the basis of this scientific evidence, the authors and sponsors strongly advise that ranchers have nothing to do with holistic planned grazing or Allan Savory. I was perplexed.
...
What I found was that Savory's holistic planned grazing had been redefined as a short duration grazing (SDG) wagon-wheel system, with shared water, no fewer than eight paddocks, five days or less grazing and four weeks or more nonuse - about 10 full cycles a year. Further, this definition or something similar was accepted by every range scientist on whom the authors relied on. I already knew from my HMI range training that Savory had never recommended anything remotely similar like what these researchers where testing and attributing to Allan.
I wondered: where the scientists reading old texts? So, I reread several of Savory's papers and his early textbook...
Thousands of times he had warned that all such short duration grazing (SDG) systems, grazing rotations and other grazing management systems would fail to reverse land degradation in seasonal rainfall environments worldwide. One was a Society of Range Management paper cited by the authors themselves!
...
So I wrote the authors and sponsors (200 in all) a 20-page paper challenging their scholarship.
...
Not one author or sponsor asked for our record or plan or accepted our invitation to visit and observe. Finally the authors wrote back and said they were talking just about the SDG systems Savory recommends. No kidding!
...
Anyone who tells you Allan Savory sells snake oil has never seen this in practice. Ask them for a document wherein he has ever recommended any unplanned system under any name. If you can find one, Allan will give 1000$ to the wildlife organization of your choice..."
Bitte den Link anklicken, ist alles sehr verkürzt, weil ich es abtippen musste. Von Marketing hat Savory wirklich keine Ahnung.
Wenn ich Zeit finde, werde ich mir mal ansehen, wer die Autoren dieser 20 Papiere sind, für wen sie schon gearbeitet haben, an welcher Uni sie lehren und wer die Sponsoren sind.
