IPD - Regenerative Agriculture: Holistic Management Oct 17

This workshop will provide an introduction to holistic management, a process of management that is central in regenerative agriculture. Holistic Management takes into account the situational complexity, context and whole under management of any farm, enterprise, organization or even family and is therefore an invaluable tool in managing successfully the economic, environmental and social impacts inherent in all decision making. In this workshop time will be spent both inside (in safe and spacious conditions) and outside of the built environment with active participation anticipated and welcome.

Agriculture is an extremely complex set of relationships. Regenerative agriculture requires management that is holistic due to this complexity. This workshop will acquaint attendees with a way to perceive and react to complexity. Our lives are an entanglement of social interaction, economic priorities, and environmental balance. For the past decades, agriculture has relied heavily on chemistry and technology in order to feed people. This and the other three workshops will show the power of using biology as well in order to restore balance to our food web.
