Benefits of Holistic Management®
Using Available Resources To Achieve
a “Triple Bottom Line” of Sustainability
The “triple bottom line” of managing holistically is reflected
in a rich return of sustainable economic, environmental and social benefits.
It is achieved with resources the land manager
already has in place. Whether land is used for ranching, organics production,
food production in pastoral communities or public lands preservation,
or even if it is unused, it can be returned to health and/or its productivity
greatly increased without large infusions of cash, equipment or technology.
