A Revolution in Resource Management – Holistic Management: A Commonsense Revolution to Restore Our Environment
Holistic management is a systems-thinking approach for managing resources, developed by Allan Savory decades ago. His approach was born out of observing the devastation caused by desertification in his native Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).
Savory discovered that properly managed livestock are crucial to restoring the world’s grassland soils. These soils act as a major sink for atmospheric carbon, thereby minimizing the most damaging impacts on humans and the natural world.
This book updates Savory’s paradigm-changing vision for reversing desertification, stemming the loss of biodiversity, and eliminating the fundamental causes of human impoverishment worldwide. Moreover, it addresses climate change.
The long-anticipated new edition of this book is written for a new generation of farmers, eco- and social entrepreneurs, and development professionals. These individuals are working tirelessly to address global environmental and social degradation. Savory’s insights offer new hope that a sustainable future for humankind and the world we depend on is within reach.
By integrating holistic management principles, Savory’s book provides a blueprint for how we can restore ecosystems and improve human well-being.
It emphasizes that the key to addressing many of our most pressing environmental challenges lies in the way we manage our resources, particularly our livestock.
The book’s comprehensive approach underscores the interconnectedness of environmental health, economic viability, and social well-being.
Holistic Management: A Commonsense Revolution to Restore Our Environment is not just a book but a call to action. It invites readers to reconsider how they interact with the environment and encourages them to adopt sustainable practices that benefit both the planet and its inhabitants.
