This common sense, holistic approach is indeed worth sharing.
With this competition, we’re seeking to reverse the trend of online ads being aggressively forced on users. We want to nurture ads so good you choose to watch. On TED.com, ads run after our talks, not before. This means they can run longer than the TV-standard 30 seconds. And that’s the key! In 2-3 minutes, there’s enough time to really tell a story, share an idea, make an authentic human connection, become unforgettable. Instead of ambush, they offer pleasurable, intelligent engagement. — TED.com
Congratulations to Allan Savory!

More and more I learn about HM and how it applies to permaculture the bigger the design tool box grows. Restoring land using animals in timed grazing is such a cost effective way of kick starting soil biology and soil building process. If you haven’t read Allan’s book, do what I did. Give it to your partner to read it cover to cover and get them to explain the important bits back to you! ha

G’day,
In my opinion Allan Savory and his colleagues have developed a suite of key insights and decision making tools that fill the voids of such in Permaculture…So yes get his book ‘Holistic Management: A New Framework for Decision Making and increase your capacity as a decision maker and positive activist at all scales so we can overcome the problems that all of us face now.
RegenAG® is holding HM workshops in Australia and the UK this year again with Kirk Gadzia, a 25 year veteran HM Certified Educator from the US, who trained directly under Allan Savory and is one of the most experienced HM educators and practitioners going around. Other workshops are also being run by various parties both here in Australia and across the world so do what you can to get to one wherever you are.

I would strongly recommend anyone do a HM course, the RegenAg course I did with Kirk Gadzia was for me equally as powerful as my PDC. HM and and Permaculture complement each other very well, the decision making framework put forward in HM would be an asset to any design you are doing.
