Can holistic grazing reverse climate change? A review of Kiss the Ground

In Episode 111 I sit down with Environmental Researcher Nicholas Carter to discuss claims made in the Kiss the Ground documentary that was released on Netflix a few weeks ago.

Specifically we cover:

The claims made by the documentary around reversal of climate change

Pro's and Con's of the solutions put forward by the documentary

Holistic grazing and carbon sequestration

Alan Savory and science

Importance of conservation and restoration of forests

Grasslands versus forests for carbon sequestration

What a shift to holistic grazing would mean for diets globally

The evidence based way for individuals to lower their food based environmental footprint

and much more
