Holistic Management helps farmers understand how nature functions, and which management tool or combination of tools will help them work with the complexity of nature and enable it to thrive. HM is a management process that evolves with your business over time. The 'how to' manage holistically comes from the Holistic Context, decision-making tool and annual profit plan. Specifically for farmers, the 'how to' is found in the land planning and grazing and/or cropping planning. Monitoring and review is built into the planning and decision-making as a critical step.

For generations, RCS has been inspired to work with Aussie producers to create the best possible future for our community. Together they are striving towards an agricultural industry comprised of:

• People that are happy, healthy and achieving their goals.
• Farming practices that work with nature to produce safe and nutrient-dense food and fibre.
• Livestock that is healthy, productive, content and virtually maintenance-free.
• Businesses that will be profitable for many years.
• Pastures that are productive, diverse, less reliant on inputs and effective at using sunlight and water.
