This course will enable you to create an effective grazing plan for your farm, utilising the proven techniques of Holistic Management. Learn how to take the theory of Holistic Management and put it into action in this hands-on course.

Kirk Gadzia, world-leading practitioner in regenerative grazing techniques, will step you through how to create an effective and realistic grazing plan tailored to your needs that works to regenerate your farm, your resources, and your herd.

This course is a unique chance to spend two days in a small, focused group with Kirk Gadzia. During the course you will:

• Participate in actively designing a grazing plan for the property where the course is held
• Learn each and every aspect of designing an effective and realistic grazing plan

Benefits of Holistic Management include improving soil health and biodiversity of rangelands and pastures, increasing grazing capacity, optimally using rainfall and conserving water, growing healthier crops and achieving higher yields.

Well managed grazing animals and Holistic Management techniques can also reverse desertification in brittle environments, break the cycle of food and water insecurity, and enhance family relationships through creating a farm plan that allows everyone on the farm to truly look ahead - with confidence.
