https://youtube/watch?v=Bzrv8cQGZjs To scale up our grasslands restoration efforts through Holistic Management, the Savory Institute is establishing strategically placed hubs around the world to empower people to use properly managed livestock to heal the land. Savory Institutes goal is to establish, by 2025, 100 self-sustaining Savory Hubs in strategic areas around the world providing local capacity and infrastructure to train thousands of Holistic Management practitioners and influence the management of 1 billion hectares of land (or 1/5 of the grasslands of the world). Savory Hubs offer consulting and training services, state of the art content and tools, and access to the land, networks and funding resources necessary to create the scale of impact needed at the ground level. The Savory Institute Hub Network represents a global community of Holistic Management practitioners. Each Savory Hub has the following key elements: Staff Each Savory Hub is staffed with accredited local professionals who are experienced in using and teaching Holistic Management to successfully handle the complexities of management in commercial and/or communal land settings. Land Each Savory Hub is strategically located in order to influence an average of 10 millionhectares of land. Each hub has control over specific piece of land that serves as a learning site, providing a location for hands-on training for pastoralists who are learning to use Holistic Management and opportunities for scientific research. Infrastructure Each Savory Hub has access to the Holistic Platform™, a digital, multi-media rich, interactive platform that provides access to the Savory Hub network, a global network of experts and Holistic Management practitioners, training curriculum, materials and content management, tools, entrepreneurial development support, funding and financing resources. The Holistic Platform provides all the necessary structure and support to ensure that local restorative work is consistent, sustainable and successful. Services Supported by Savory Institute each Savory Hub is responsible for marketing the following programs and services to local practitioners, NGOs and government agencies. Professional Training Each Savory Hub offers training in Holistic Management for both commercial and communal land-based farmers and ranchers, as well as NGOs and governments working with pastoralists. Their access to land is used to provide practical hands-on experience as part of the land-based learning training curriculum. Professional Accreditation Each Savory Hub offers formal accreditation for professionals who are trained to teach and support others in the practice of Holistic Management. Project Consulting Each Savory Hub offers custom training, education and consulting services to land managers, organizations and governments who are managing or working at influencing the management of large areas of grasslands or degraded drylands. Full Spectrum Monitoring Each Savory Hub offers biological, social and financial monitoring services to land managers, organizations and governments to ensure long-term sustainability of their projects and initiatives.

Auditing Services Each Savory Hub offers auditing services to land managers interested in accessing established market incentives or premium prices for their products under specific sustainable land and livestock management standards. Each Savory Hub can serve as a lab for Savory Institute to coordinate the implementation of relevant research targeted to removing context specific barriers in the realm of policy and/or markets to facilitate the rapid adoption of regenerative land management practices. Entrepreneurial Incubator Each Savory Hub can also serve as a regional incubator for innovative land-based enterprises that could enhance triple bottom line returns to land managers, including innovative approaches to monetizing ecosystem services.
