Holistic Management

A long awaited update to Allan Savory's paradigm-changing work in managing agricultural resources. Fossil fuels and livestock grazing are often targeted as major culprits behind climate change and desertification. But Allan Savory, cofounder of the Savory Institute, begs to differ. The bigger problem, he warns, is our mismanagement of resources. Holistic management is a systems-thinking approach for managing resources developed by Allan Savory decades ago after observing the devastation of desertification in his native Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). It offers new hope that a sustainable future for humankind and the world we depend on is within reach.
