By planning your business and family decisions “holistically” you can create the quality of life you want for you, your family, your animals and soils - and the community around you.
Zimbabwean born biologist and range scientist, Allan Savory has spent 50 years refining his insights and concepts which bring new “holistic” thinking and grazing management to re-vitalising soils and grazing properties worldwide.
So successful has Savory’s ‘holistic grazing planning’ been, that animal and land managers around the world are now realising the enormous value of their animals as tools to heal the soil surface and reverse thousands of years of degeneration.
“Courses in ‘managing holistically’ offer people a greater understanding of how nature functions, a fresh approach to decision making and land management and enables them to factor in climate change and profitability,” said Australian trainer, Brian Wehlburg.
Mr Wehlburg and fellow professional educator, Paul Griffiths have started a 4x2 day course in Tarago (20 minutes south of Goulburn) which began in early March.
“The course offers participants an insight into climate change and teaches how to make better decisions environmentally in business,” Mr Wehlburg said.
“Decisions – social, economic, and environmental – make the difference when it comes to climate change”. The list of valuable outcomes for farmers and graziers and their families is impressive.
“The course sets out to show participants how to increase productivity sustainably, increase soil carbon, reduce weed and pest problems naturally, manage their time better, understand the benefits of holistic planned grazing charts, using animals as a tool to improve the environment and understanding the principles of planning for a profit”, Mr Wehlburg said.
“It’s a ‘whole of family’ course – the more family members included, the better the business decisions for the future of everyone involved.”
About 10,000 Australian farming and grazing families now manage their businesses ‘holistically’, and were taught to do so by Professional Educators, certified to train by the Savory Institute in New Mexico, USA.
The course commenced online on Monday March 9 at 7.00pm, and has continued through March and now April.
There will then be two days of Face 2 Face sessions at Tarago Community Hall on April 27 - 28; May 12 - 13; June 23 - 24 and July 21 - 22.
