Holistic Management: A Whole-Farm Decision Making Framework (Summary)
Holistic Management: A Whole-Farm Decision Making Framework (Summary)
This
publication serves as an introduction to holistic management
and provides resources for further information. Holistic Management™
is a decision making framework that assists farmers and others
in establishing a long-term goal, a detailed financial plan, a
biological plan for the landscape and a monitoring program to assess
progress toward the goal. Holistic Management helps managers to
ask the right questions and guides them in setting priorities.
In holistic financial planning, profit is planned at the beginning
of the year. This is in stark contrast to conventional financial
planning where the net profit is often non-existent or a small
amount left over once expenses are accounted for.
