Right, yes. We would like to point out that the solution is not the only one. Holistic Management is not an 'intention' or a 'perspective' but pure, otherwise we wouldn't need to teach, we would have preached, it would have happened =) Holistic Management, complexity to create ecological, economic and social gain/repair at the same time It's actually an algorithm that allows us to manage. Complex systems (agriculture, economy, ecosystems, individual life, education system, etc.) are difficult to manage. We grapple with all these problems as we deal with complex systems the way we try to build and manage (i.e., with a reductionist methodology) complex structures (car, ship, lever, computer program). Holistic Management includes the algorithm, decision-making mechanisms, planning processes and other technical (mostly biological) information needed to manage such complex systems, especially ecosystems and agriculture, in an accurate and 'holistic' way.

Think of plants as solar panels. They convert sunlight into food, and in doing so they bury a significant portion of the carbon dioxide they take in to feed the microbiological organisms in the soil, depending on many processes and factors. And these plants have evolved together with herbivores (smaller herds in less fragile ecosystems…), especially in brittle areas, whose life cycles depend on herbivorous animal migrations that continue for millions of years. Agriculture has broken this cycle, and we are re-establishing this cycle with Holistic Management and specifically Integrated Grazing. The subject of forests is as follows: 1) Only some of the terrestrial areas of the world are suitable for being a 'forest' ecosystem, and the biggest determinant of this is the vulnerability scale. A significant part of the world (about half of the terrestrial areas) is the steppe and grassland ecosystem. Trying to create forests in these places is futile, very expensive and unnecessary. 2) The main carbon sink of trees is their trunks and branches. On the grasslands, there is a growth-eating/crushing-re-growth process that occurs every year (even 3-4 times a year, even 10-12 times a year depending on the location). Every healthy operation of this process allows grasslands to bury carbon under the soil, which is what increases the organic matter in the soil. These subsoil carbon embedding rates are very high in healthy steppes (thanks to the greater number of growth-eat/crush-regrowth cycles per year) and can be established more quickly.

As of 2015, we are applying it on a total of 200 decares of land, it was 45 decares in the first year. We started with 18 sheep in the first year, now 40, it will increase to around 100 soon. It takes a long time to explain what we do and it may be difficult to understand, but with very limited financial resources and expenses, we can make a high yield livestock; On the other hand, there are serious positive changes in the field. We also measure the carbon ratio in the soil, when the next measurement reaches us (end of 2015), we will be able to say exactly how much carbon we have buried annually. Animals are in good mood, and their behavior patterns are changing in a positive way (which even farmers often think is impossible). People also respect our work, watch it with interest, and even begin to apply some parts of it themselves!

Note:Anadolu Pastures application land was temporarily stopped in November 2019 with the decision we made in April 2019 due to the team's intensity in the project and working areas. Existing and new application lands are under preparation.

We became eyes in the first period, we are among the first ones =) The word Göze is a concept we use in Turkish as opposed to the English word hub. We can say that the autonomous, autonomous and free arm and representation of the Savory Institute in this region. In order to become an eye, the institute collects applications at certain times of the year, evaluates them and makes it a "candidate eye" first. Institutions that have successfully survived the 1-year candidacy process become an eye.

It is possible. Our very rough estimate is that the country's lands/pastures only produce around 10% of their true potential. By increasing this with Holistic Management, we can strengthen water basins, adapt and fight against climate change, and produce VERY high quality food for cheap. In other words, it is extremely possible to switch from the current system where both the farmer, the consumer and the ecosystems lose, to a system where they all gain.
