About
I live and work with my family at Semilla Besada, a 16 hectare research conservation farm in southern Spain. Here for the first time in Europe Holistic Management is being used to reverse desertification by manging grazing animals in a holistically planned way.. Our work includes, but is not limited to, the use of Holistic Management as a holistic decision-making framework, and Permaculture as an holistic design process. The farm comprises 500 mixed fruit and nut trees, 100 vines, 20 mixed breed chickens, 17 mixed breed rabbits, 3 geese, 4 bee hives and 9 milking sheep. We offer educational programmes both locally and internationally in Holistic Management and Dryland Permaculture Design.
