Introduction to Holistic Management

Holistic Management is a goal oriented, value driven framework for making decisions which are ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially just. This very brief introduction will inform students about the basic principles of holistic management, the ecosystem processes which power our civilization, and some select practices which influence ecosystem function. Holistic Management provides a way to manage complexity, striving for regeneration, while humbly acknowledging that there are no recipes for success.
