Consider new fencing layouts that minimize the number of water points, providing greater flexibility in implementing grazing planning and more options for improving animal performance.
Anticipate the facilities needed as animal numbers and herd sizes increase, thereby avoiding costly redesigns in the future.
Learn the Holistic Land Planning process by working through an example provided or by developing your own holistic land plan.
Holistic land planning is one of the least understood yet most important aspects of Holistic Management. Allan Savory has said, “If you go home and immediately build a fence, then you haven’t understood me.”
Understanding the long-term goals of a land base and anticipating long- and short-term infrastructure and improvement plans requires many factors—including money, time, timing, and resources—to come together in a way that creates the most significant impact on our land, livestock, livelihood, and quality of life.
Developing a Holistic Land Plan allows key decisions to be mapped out in a way that optimizes investment, avoids bad debt, and establishes improvements that deliver long- and short-term benefits. In this course, individuals clearly define their ultimate vision for their ranch, farm, rangeland, or landbase, then develop a plan that considers natural resource constraints, production goals, animal welfare, wildlife habitat, and labor costs.
Using holistic design principles, individuals can build a project management strategy that delivers the greatest return on investment as they advance toward their future land goals, while ensuring continued improvement in their quality of life.
