Famous for developing Holistic Management: Holistic Management appears to have a good track record.

The most compelling evidence comes from 2 of the US's leading integrated farmers and agriculture rock stars - [[Joel Salatin]] and [[Greg Judy]]. They use holistic management - and appear to be Holistic Management training centers - there are critiques as well.
 
Allan Savory's message is definitely controversial. Read the pros and cons of his work in the comments - [http://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_green_the_world_s_deserts_and_reverse_climate_change?language=en] . What is the consensus that weighs between the positives and negatives? Most of the commentary below the talk at http://TED.com is biased - both for and against. Is there any balanced viewpoint that shows the strengths while addressing the weaknesses of the appraoch? OSE is currently evaluating the potential of our site for becoming a Holistic Management training center - so we'd like to get clear about the full story. Please comment below:
