Holistic Management (from ὅλος holos, a Greek word meaning all, whole, entire, total) in agriculture is an approach to managing resources that was originally developed by Allan Savory^[1] for grazing management.^[2]^{[better source needed]}, Holistic Management has been likened to "a permaculture approach to rangeland management".^[3] Holistic Management is a registered trademark of Holistic Management International (no longer associated with Allan Savory). It has faced criticism from many researchers who argue it is unable to provide the benefits claimed.^[4]^[5]
