About Listening

Peter Donovan lives in Enterprise, Oregon, where he writes on resource management issues, low-stress livestock handling, pasture management, and entrepreneurial development. He has herded sheep, cattle, and turkeys, worked on farms, and in the woods.

He thinks that the reason so many of our large problems are worsening is that the people who know how to solve them are usually excluded from the decision making.

Peter had also been doing back-of-the-envelope calculations on soil carbon. He discovered Priority One online and published a U.S./UK edition in the summer of 2007.
