In today's epiosde we discuss the goal of creating "True Profit" for the Desert to Grassland Project.  We aim to show how this model can be used around the world to restort desert and land that is desertifying around the world while making a profit and feeding people and the soil. 

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.

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 ! 

Is it possible to turn a desert to a grassland? What if it only has 2-3 inches of rain a year? Is it possible by changing 150,000 acres that it would increase the rain 8-9 inches a year? 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.
