TED: Allan Savory: How to green the world's deserts and reverse climate change

[StrontiumDog]

I just watched this last night A must watch TED Talk!

http://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savo...rld_s_deserts_and_reverse_climate_change.html
“Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert,” begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it's happening to about two-thirds of the world’s grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.

Allan Savory works to promote holistic management in the grasslands of the world.

Not able to watch it now but for those who have: what is the source of the nutrients for turning deserts into green fields?

 

[Seriously]

Take a look at Israel and see what can be done to barren land.
