Savory Accredited

Holistic Management Educators

World-class educators backed by Savory's decades of experience

Any grazing guru can tell you what worked for them, but a true coach helps you discover what’s right for your own operation. Backed by the most up-to-date training materials and curriculum, accredited Holistic Management educators help producers realize their fullest potential through courses, workshops, coaching, and consulting.

Curriculums Adapted to Local Needs

A commercial ranching operation has different needs than a smallholder farming community. Accredited educators are all trained in the commercial curriculum while an additional communal curriculum has been developed to support those where communal land ownership and herding are factors.

Fill Out Accreditation Form

If you're ready to get started with accreditation as an educator of the Holistic Management curriculum, the first step is to fill out this form so Savory can guide you through the process.

Complete Your Coursework

The next step is to successfully complete each module of the Holistic Management curriculum: Fundamentals, Holistic Planned Grazing, Holistic Land Planning, Holistic Financial Planning, and Ecological Monitoring. Note that fundamentals can be taken through Savory's online course, but all planning procedures must be taken through an accredited Savory Hub.

Pass Your Exit Review

When you're ready, schedule an exit interview. This two-hour oral exam will cover the Holistic Management framework, core concepts, planning procedures, etc. Your exit interviewer will then discuss results with Savory's Senior Director of Programs and a decision will be made on accreditation suitability.

After paying accreditation dues, you officially receive accreditation as an Associate Educator. This entry-level accreditation indicates that the educator sufficiently understands the concepts and principles of Holistic Management to begin teaching it to others, and you receive access to all training materials, curriculum, the Network communication platform, and post-accreditation advanced trainings.
