Land & Livestock Management for Life

Supporting better decisions for land, livelihoods, and life.

About 3LM

3LM—Land and Livestock Management for Life—is the Savory Network Hub for the UK and Ireland, launched in 2016 to help people manage holistically and make decisions that strengthen land, livelihoods, and communities.

We work with farmers and graziers, and we also serve the wider system around them: advisors and educators, food and fibre businesses, landowners, regional and community groups, investors, and policy teams—anyone navigating complexity where outcomes must be real, not just well-intended.

We’re practical and we’re innovative. We invented Bart, a technology for running in-field ecological surveys, and we continue to extend its capability and use. Bart has already helped verify more than 3,000,000 hectares of land—turning on-the-ground evidence into clarity, confidence, and better decisions.

We even help you learn how to learn. We offer a free survey and an interpretation guide called, "What's your best way to learn?"

We work with you to fulfil our Statement of Purpose, "Imagineering a Regenerative Layer".
