Savory Institute.Org recognizes the first accredited Savory Institute affiliated Hub

BOULDER, Colo. - April 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Savory Institute.Org, Inc, an International US based non-profit, recognizes the Africa Centre for Holistic Management (ACHM), a Zimbabwean NGO founded by Allan Savory, as a regional catalyst of ecological, social and financial restoration in the Southern African region through education, training and consulting services in regenerative land management.

ACHM, the first Savory Institute affiliated hub, is pioneering and inspiring Savory Institute’s strategy of restoring the world’s grasslands through a transformative global network of partners. The Savory Institute.Org and ACHM are both founded by Allan Savory, the visionary leader who created Holistic Management.  Holistic Management provides a decision-making framework and planning processes designed to make decisions that are ecologically, socially and financially sound, short and long term simultaneously.

“Savory Institute.Org, Inc is working with local organizations in Southern Africa to offer land management solutions to NGOs, government and local pastoralists,” said Daniela Howell, CEO of Savory Institute.Org, Inc.  “Building upon their already proven successes, ACHM will increase the number of people trained and hectares of land properly managed in the region.  As a result of the extraordinary impact ACHM has had in local communities, it became the impetus for building similar partnerships in other regions around the world.”

Huggins Matanga, Executive Director of The Africa Centre of Holistic Management says, “This agreement and affiliation will take us to a new and exciting level, giving us an opportunity to join this renowned network of SI affiliated Hubs committed to regenerating soils, livelihoods and financial viability.”

Savory Institute.Org is partnering with local organizations to create a global network of 100 SI affiliated hubs by 2025.
