Savory Institute

Bare ground is public enemy #1. Let’s do something about it.

Save the grasslands. Save the planet.

We’ve teamed up with over 100 member organisations to #GreenUptoCoolDown! 🌱🌍 Our members the Savory Institute promote large-scale regeneration of the world's grasslands through holistic management, which involves using properly managed grazing livestock to mimic nature's grazing patterns. The institute has a global network of over 50 regional learning "Hubs" around the world that provide training, support, and mentorship on holistic management practices. Keep up the great work, @savoryinstitute! 🙌 Together, we can Green Up to Cool Down the planet! 💚💙 #GoGreen #DecadeofAction #GenerationRestoraiton #NoPlanetB #ClimateChange #Agriculture #Farming #SoilHealth #Sustainability #SDGs #ClimateAction Bobby Gill

Are you a brand looking to transition your supply chain to regenerative agriculture? Land to Market is helping brands do exactly that. With over 80 brands and 1,000 products now carrying the Land to Market Verified seal, we can help you source meat, dairy, wool, leather, and other grassland-derived supply that’s coming from verified regenerating farms and ranches.

Yesterday, I attended an event where Allan Savory shared his perspectives on the state of the world’s natural ecosystems and wanted to highlight some of his thought-provoking points here. 1️⃣ Our #agriculture is in terrible shape due to unaccountable and extractive institutions. The key issue here is how we develop policies. Decisions lack context. 2️⃣ Subsidies and grants do more harm than good to #farming. Farmers are paid to do the wrong thing. 3️⃣ Under the Soviet influence, Moscow’s bureaucrats were telling Hungarian farmers what and how to grow. Today, it is the European Union’s bureaucrats from Brussels deciding what is allowed and what is not, neglecting any holistic approach. 4️⃣ We produce millions of things but we are incapable of managing our institutions/societies. It's an overwhelming mass. 5️⃣ And last but not least the most important tenet: address the cause, not the symptoms! Allan is one of the leading voices in #regenerativefarming and the founder of the Savory Institute. He's a controversial figure. However, I think every great mind has controversial arguments. And it's not bad per se. It sparks debate which eventually moves our society forward.

Happy Earth Day everyone! I recently spoke at UGG headquarters for a staff event. Afterwards we went in the retail store they have on site. Seeing all the different boots labeled regenerative, with the Land to Market seal on them was an absolute highlight of my career. It almost made me emotional right there in the store, I had to play it cool, but it was very special. Ugg and other brands around the world are working hard to be example of how business can and must lead if humanity is going to continue with a civilization as we have known it. And it was so humbling to see a logo I helped choose on such a pop culture icon like Ugg boots. I felt in awe knowing there were countless committed individuals on the brand team that worked to make these products a reality. I am proud to personally know many of the farmers first-hand from the Atkins Ranch group that grew the lambs. And as I stared at those boots I couldn’t help but think of the broader Land to Market team that works so passionately and tirelessly to make this work easier for brands every day. While it was very a small moment in time it was one I’ll never forget. Happy Earth Day!

Great news from UGG / Deckers Brands, one of our Land to Market members who we’ve been working with the last few years to train 80 farmers with #HolisticManagement in Australia, collect #EOV ecological data to verify regenerative claims, and build their supply chain. The project that has now influenced 1,000,000 acres of farmland… and ahead of schedule!

You asked for it, so now you've got it! We're offering our first-ever, full comprehensive Holistic Management course in English at the ranch this summer! Spend your holidays with us digging deep into holistic decision making, holistic planned grazing and the whole works. We'll BBQ, eat fresh ranch-raised food, you'll get to know holistic management and the ranch intimately, we'll learn from each other (and from us), and we'll have a whole lot of fun while we're at it! So whether you've been looking for ways to get your accreditation through the Savory Institute, wondering how to pivot your career towards regenerative agriculture, or you're looking for a different kind of holiday in the beautiful Spanish countryside, there's no doubt you'll find what you're looking for at Curly Creek Ranch. Meals and lodging are included at the ranch (space is limited, however, so make sure to register early), and there will be a one-day break in the middle to enjoy San Fermín down in Pamplona about a half hour away (the famous Running of the Bulls), or avoid the chaos and head just 45 minutes north to the beach in San Sebastian. Once in a lifetime memories are guaranteed! https://lnkd.in/dgb7qDuh #holisticmanagement #regenerativeagriculure #alwayslearning #ranchlife #navarra #navarratourism #regenag #pasturemanagement #holisticplannedgrazing Meghan Sapp Bobby Gill Caroline Odoz
