Savory Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Boulder, Colorado with 50+ regional learning Hubs around the globe. Founded in 2009, the Institute has trained over 16,000 farmers, ranchers, and pastoralists and influenced management of over 21 Million hectares of grasslands through the adoption of Holistic Planned Grazing – a process that mimics ancestral grazing patterns of wild herbivores that co-evolved with healthy grassland ecosystems. Developed by Allan Savory in the 1960’s, Holistic Management (HM) has been proven in a wide variety of contexts to regenerate grasslands, build soil, increase biodiversity, and sequester significant amounts of carbon while also improving social and economic outcomes.

The Savory Global Network is comprised of regionally-based Savory Hubs (learning centers), Accredited Professionals (field educators), and Regenerating Members (recurring monthly donors) which together are our scale-up mechanism for increasing adoption. Savory Hubs are all locally owned and locally operated training centers that, through Accredited Professionals, provide HM training, resources, and implementation support to local farmers and ranchers. With an intimate knowledge of local culture, economy, policies, and environment, Hubs are able to mentor producers and help them implement these regenerative management practices in a contextually-specific manner that is relevant to their region.

The Savory Global Network currently operates across six continents training, equipping, and mentoring roughly 10 new Hubs per year. Since 2009, we have achieved the following impact: 

•	50+ Global Hubs
•	16,000+ farmers/ranchers/pastoralists trained 
•	21+ million hectares of land holistically managed

Savory’s goal is to regenerate global grasslands and make a significant dent in carbon drawdown before it is too late. Through a growing global network, this goal is not just achievable, but necessary to create a livable planet for many generations to come.
