Episode 4: Feeding the Cattle in the Desert to Grasslands Project
Desert to Grassland: Feeding the Future
Today's episode we're back with Rodger Savory and we're exploring more about the Desert to Grassland Project. Specifically we are frequently asked how we would cattle in a place where there is only 1 plant every 30 feet. We also talk about how we can actually make this a profitable model and put feedlots out of business. The goal is to make this a profitable model so that it can be done on any desert or desertifying land around the world. Visit us on Fixdesert.com for more information.

Episode 3: Biochar, Carbon Sequestration and the Xprize
Desert to Grassland: Feeding the Future
Today's episode is mostly about Carbon sequestration and Carbon Capture. We talk about why Rodger thinks his team has a very good chance at winning the XPrize for Carbon Removal. We also talk about his experience with BioChar. Biochar has become a bit of a trend and Rodger did a deep dive into making it on a large scale 20 years ago so I thought his take on it might be helpful. Spoiler: There are some big problems with using BioChar to capture and sequester Carbon !

Tune in as we follow Rodger Savory and his team as they compete for the Carbon Removal XPrize and work on the Salton Sea area and other deserts around the world.
