We believe that this modern approach to the ancient trade of shepherding is the future of livestock in California. Pastoralism plays a critical role in protecting environments, sequestering carbon, and enhancing biodiversity while providing highly nutritious food for people across the planet. In the US, pastoral practices and economies have been nearly eradicated due to colonization, industrialization, and the individualization of livestock production.
In order to rebuild resilient human and ecological communities that can mitigate the catastrophic impacts of our changing climate, we hope to reclaim these traditional practices in order to build a modern culture and economy of pastoralism in the US. This is where Prescribed Grazing comes in! We are passionate about this model of grazing and want to share what we have learned over the past decade in order to make this work more accessible to future generations of ecological doctors and land stewards.
