Holistic management – part 4 – ecosystem processes

By Liz Beavis (eight acres)

Holistic management considers four fundamental and interelated processes that function within our ecosystem/environment:

Water cycle
Mineral cycle
Energy cycle
Community dynamics

These processes are the foundation on which we can build our holistic goals. The holistic goal should be formulated around how we want to influence these processes, as any improvement in one will result in an overall improvement in productivity of the land. I will use this post to discuss the processes and further develop the holistic goal that I drafted previously.
