The 2019 LILIS conference brings together innnovative thinking and speakers Sheila and Christopher Cooke of <A HREF="https://www.3lm.network/about" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="More about 3LM Network" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">3LM Network</A> to discuss this year’s theme of Holistic Management. 
Based on the principles and thinking of Allan Savory, Holistic Management is an innovative approach to farming with livestock. 
In today's world, agriculture is under pressure to move to more climate-friendly practices, to be more environmentally conscious and to be able to robustly state our credentials for animal health and welfare.
LILIS 2019 will delve into the principles of Holistic Management to see how achieving a balanced production system is better for animals, plants and most importantly the soil we must conserve.
Dumfries House Home Farm is certified organic by OF&G Scotland to the SOPA organic standards.
