Holistic Management

"The core competency of Holistic Management is the ecologically regenerative, economically viable, and socially sound management of the world’s grasslands, rangelands, and savannas. These environments comprise two-thirds of the planet’s surface area." <ref> Savory Institute

Key Insights

• Holism
• Brittleness

This concept helps describe an environment depending especially on soil moisture by looking at:

• • precipitation reliability
  • the distribution of humidity during the year
  • chem/physical breaking down of dead organic matter
  • how quickly soil biology communities develop

Land responds very differently to various practices and tools in brittle and non-brittle environments because of the speed and effectiveness of the decay process.
