HM Podcast Series: Towards Holistic Research

We are joined by Josh Egenolf, who is a Ph.d. candidate with the Odum School of Ecology, which is part of the University of Georgia.  Josh is currently developing a research proposal that will evaluate the relationships between management typologies and sustainability indicators.  His approach is a participatory one that will directly involve producers from the Indiana Beef Alliance, and will be looking at how Holistic Management practitioners make decisions. Topics of discussion include a description of the general research design, the methodological considerations of holistic research, the importance of farmer participation in research implementation, research as a means for seeking divergent solutions, and the difficulties in funding holistic research.
