Savory Hubs

We are a global network of
50 Savory Hubs across 30 countries on
6 continents.

Savory Hubs build the capacity for regeneration in a region.

We believe that empowering and equipping farmers to do their best work is most effectively accomplished through fellow community members who know the local land, climate, markets, and culture. Savory Hubs are local learning centers that offer services to support their local farming, ranching, or pastoralist communities, tailored to their specific needs.

1.

Holistic Management Training

Hubs offer a range of Holistic Management educational opportunities, including weekend workshops, field days, week-long intensives, virtual courses, and one-on-one support.

2.

EOV Land Monitoring

For those not needing management support – or perhaps not yet aware – Hubs provide EOV land monitoring services to measure the health of their landscape’s ecological function.

Consulting & Other Services

No two Hubs are alike and offerings vary based on location, but generally they include tangential services like consulting, organizational design, eco-tourism, supply aggregation, and more. 

Fjällbete - Sweden

For 20 years, Jörgen Andersson has been the driving force behind Fjällbete, a farm in Undersåker, Sweden with a mission to close the gap between the land and its people. As the learning site for the Savory Hub in Sweden, Fjällbete is facilitating a Nordic network for regenerative agriculture and helping people explore their “caring capacity” as farmers and community builders.

Hubs are Integral in Savory's Mission

When the Savory Institute was founded, we knew we wanted to change the model of field offices staffed by outsiders and limited by bureaucracy. Inspired by the power of networks found in nature, the concept of the Savory Hub – nodal and autonomous – was born.

Trained and Equipped to Create Impact

Savory Accreditation

Through an 18-month onboarding process of intensive training and mentorship, Savory Hubs become best-in-class community organizers. With access to Savory’s curriculum and programs, they are then able to create the conditions for change in their local farming community.

Unique impact models

Savory Hubs are independently owned, independently operated, and no two Hubs are alike. Each operates a unique impact model tailored to the specific needs of the local community in which they operate.

Connected to Other Community Leaders
Global Network Support

The power of a network lies in the connections amongst nodes. The Savory Global Network of Hubs are supported not just by the Institute, but by each other, sharing their learnings, resources, business opportunities, and more.

What makes a great Hub Leader?

Starting and running a Hub requires a certain skill set, but for the right person it is a rewarding and meaningful path.

entreprenurial

Visionary and resourceful, a Hub leader knows what their region needs and is willing to do the work to bring that change to life.

passionate

To bring new people to the table, it requires the Hub leader to embody the life-transforming potential of this work.

Connected

A strong network of potential partners in relevant industries makes starting a Hub a much easier hill to climb.

Committed

Anyone who manages holistically will tell you that commitment to the framework and patience is where the magic happens.
