ABOUT
HOLISTIC MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL
Since 1984, HMI has collaborated and worked alongside government agencies, NGOs, and businesses who work with family farmers, ranchers, tribal members, and pastoralists to support their communities as they grow and thrive. We share our educational programs and the knowledge and experience of our international network with these communities to support their adoption and evolution of regenerative agricultural practices that empower them to strengthen their businesses, produce healthier food, improve local wildlife habitats and protect the environment.
Our Mission
Our mission is to inspire, educate, and equip all land stewards, including farmers, ranchers, and conservation organizations, to unlock their own potential and the full potential of the land, water, and communities with whom they engage.
Our Purpose

We Love Diversity in ALL Species!
HMI is committed to engaging and supporting a diverse community of holistic managers — people who acknowledge that humans are a part of the natural world and must engage in restorative reciprocity to create healthy land, healthy food, and healthy lives. HMI recognizes that diversity in nature strengthens and protects the health of the whole ecosystem. The same is true within our human community. We have a policy and practice of inclusion and acceptance not limited to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and place of origin. Further, we acknowledge that the concept of holism is embedded in many Indigenous and traditional agricultural practices. The tools and practices of Holistic Management are evolving and adapting based on new and remembered ways of partnering with Nature. We offer this framework as a process that can be adapted by communities to serve their needs as they engage in restorative reciprocity and weave their own knowledge and experience into the Holistic Management framework.
