Why should I use Holistic Management?
As a land manager and producer (whether it is livestock or crops), not only are you dealing with nature (environment), but you are also running a business for profit (economical), while hopefully enjoying family time (social). Managing all three, and making decisions that take all three into consideration, can be difficult. Holistic Management is a decision-making framework that helps people make decisions that are socially, economically, and environmentally sound (as possible) enabling managers to achieve results that honor what is important to all decisions makers.
Why are the foundations important?
