What is the Savory Institute?

The Savory Institute is a global non-profit organization dedicated to the large-scale regeneration of the world’s grasslands. By equipping farmers, ranchers, and pastoralist communities with the tools and knowledge of Holistic Management, the Institute aims to restore degraded lands, enhance biodiversity, and improve livelihoods.

What is Holistic Management?

Holistic Management is a decision-making framework that integrates ecological, financial, and social considerations. It assists land managers in making informed choices that lead to sustainable and regenerative outcomes for their land and communities.

What is a Savory Hub?

A Savory Hub is a locally owned and operated center that provides training, resources, and implementation support for Holistic Management within a specific region. Hubs serve as regional learning centers, offering services such as:

  • Holistic Management Training: Educational programs tailored to the needs of local farming and ranching communities.

  • Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV): Monitoring services to assess and verify the health of the land.

  • Consulting Services: Personalized support to implement regenerative practices effectively.

By leveraging intimate knowledge of local culture, economy, policies, and environment, Hubs mentor producers and help them implement regenerative practices that are contextually relevant.
