I've been approached about hosting Jaime Elizondo at the end of September/beginning of October so am seeking feedback from those who might potentially be interested (asking elsewhere too, of course). The suggestion is a two-day event.
From what I see of material about him as well as hear about him, it seems in no doubt that he is 'legit' as they say out there, in terms of being a very regenerative grazier, but if I'm putting on an event I want to be sure it is relevant to sufficient people here - that a) it will be viable, and b) it will serve a valuable purpose.
My main concern in this case is that his climatic context is so different to ours, but at the same time there are of course core principles which still stand and his experience in itself surely has value as inspiration of what is possible. So personally I have mixed feelings, and have had mixed response from others - but would like to get clearer.
I can discuss content / approach in more detail with him, but before doing so I want to ask:
- what you think/would want/be interested in from him, if anything
- what role you think a visit from him to the UK could play in moving us forwards, if any
I'm attaching the documents I was sent and a couple of links to youtube videos. It would be just him, but you can see that he has worked closely with Johann Zietsman as well as others.
All constructive comments welcome - thank you!
