Join us for a fascinating webinar featuring New Mexico rancher, Jorge Ramirez, who will share his extensive experience in implementing rotational grazing and virtual fencing as a tool to promote ecological restoration. Learn about the intersection of technology and the food system and gain valuable insights from Jorge’s 35 years of hands-on experience in ecological recovery and innovative ranching practices specifically targeted to areas that are experiencing extreme droughts.

The land under his management shows an exceptional recovery in the amount and diversity of plant and animal species, and erosive processes have been controlled; that recovery has made it possible for Jorge to become one of the first ranchers in New Mexico to trade carbon credits.

Virtual fencing is a relatively new technology to manage livestock movement within a landscape without physical fences. Each animal is outfitted with a collar that gives an audio signal and then a benign shock when they approach the rancher-defined “barrier.”

Ranchers interested in rotational/adaptive grazing and ecological restoration should attend, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of technology and the food system. This event is free, please register to receive the Zoom link.

Speaker bio:
Jorge Ramirez was born into a ranching family in Chihuahua, Mexico and went on to get a degree in animal science at Monterrey Tec. He started managing cattle ranches in Tamaulipas, Mexico, and became an advocate for rotational grazing systems for ecological recovery of grasslands. Through direct management, he has been involved in the ecological recovery of three ranches in Mexico and two ranches in New Mexico.
