KS 17 HMI Healthy land - Sustainable future
Today we are talking with Peter Holter of Holistic Management International.
HMI is an Albuquerque-based, international nonprofit organization that provides training, courses and consulting services to stewards of large landscapes, including ranchers, farmers, pastoral communities, government agencies, NGOs, environmental advocacy groups and other non-profits.
HMI’s proven holistic practices yield a “triple bottom line”
of sustainable economic, environmental and social benefits by:
Improving soil health and biodiversity of rangelands and pastures.
Increasing grazing and wildlife capacity.
Increasing annual profits and enhancing livelihoods.
Optimally using rainfall and conserving water.
Growing healthier crops and achieving higher yields.
Reversing desertification in brittle environments.
Breaking the cycle of food and water insecurity.
Enhancing family relationships.
Resisting and positively affecting global climate change.
HMI also trains Certified Educators to educate others about Holistic Management®, which replaces fragmentary decision-making and short-term solutions with a system that encompasses a whole, long-term process of restoring damaged land and managing healthy land.
30 million acres of land worldwide currently benefit from Holistic Management® practices.
