Summary

This 4 part documentary series explores the powerful change in agriculture championed by forward-thinking producers.

Currently, there is rampant exploitation of our land, animals, and people, taking place on a global scale. The true cost of fast-food and fast-fashion are expended in unseen externalities to our local communities and our environment.

In this episode, The Story of Meat, host Chris Kerston, shares stories of Holistic Management practitioners, butchers and business partners in South Africa with Caroline McCann of Braeside Grassfed Meats, in Zimbabwe with Allan Savory and the Savory Network Hub the Africa Center for Holistic Management, in Austin, Texas, U.S.A. with Taylor Collins and Katie Forrest founders of EPIC Provisions, and in Georgia, U.S.A. with Will and Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures. These partners are going beyond sustainability to bring about an era of regenerative agriculture through properly managed grazing that mimics nature.
