Specifically we cover:

•The claims made by the documentary around reversal of climate change
•Pro's and Con's of the solutions put forward by the documentary
•Holistic grazing and carbon sequestration
•Alan Savory and science
•Importance of conservation and restoration of forests
•Grasslands versus forests for carbon sequestration
•What a shift to holistic grazing would mean for diets globally
•The evidence based way for individuals to lower their food based environmental footprint
•and much more
