Savory Institute International Conference - London 2014


 
 
Central London - Aug 1st and 2nd

We all know the global issues that spell certain disaster for our species: climate change, hunger, water shortages, poverty, inequality, etc. The Savory Institute chose to utilize our annual conference as a forum that celebrates real world solutions to these problems. Not working theories proposed by think-tanks or bureaucracies, but solutions from innovators on the front lines who have stared these overwhelming problems in the face and found ways to overcome them. We're proud to announce our line-up of "solutionairies." Each speaker has had tremendous success in their field tackling global-scale issues impacting the environment, the economy, or humanity.

 

Whether you're a farmer, rancher, gaucho, shepherd, conservationist, permaculturalist, new to owning land, or just interested in making the world a better place we invite you to join the conversation. This conference will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to both learn and network. Surround yourself with top thought-leaders from a multitude of disciplines. Become part of an international community ushering in a new era of hope. Unite with pastoralists and land managers through the universal language of the land.

 

Grasslands are some of the most important landscapes on the planet that when managed properly play a tremendous role in sequestering atmospheric carbon, increasing water quality and availability, producing healthy abundant  sustainable food, and restoring biodiversity. Come celebrate solutions with us and let's put grasslands to work.
