Ian Mitchell-Innes Interview on Holistic Management Planned Grazing

Ian Mitchell-Innes discusses how to restore our watersheds by sequestering carbon using Holistic Management. This allows rain to be stored in aquifers where it falls. Such practices restore biodiversity to the land, profitability to the farm, and lock in water closer to its source. Ian goes into detail about the economics of factory farming and the role of the individual farmer in ending this inefficient and unhealthy system.

Ian Mitchell-Innes has been practicing Holistic Management for 20 years on his ranch in South Africa. He has made mistakes and wishes to share with ranchers and farmers how to avoid these costly mistakes. He teaches farmers and ranchers how to FEED the whole – grass, animal, soil surface, Sub soil, using animals at high and ultra high stock density (mob grazing).
