BMPs

A BMP is defined as an agricultural management practice which:

• Ensures the health and sustainability of resources used for agricultural production.
• Positively impacts the long-term economic and environmental viability of the agricultural industry
• Minimizes negative impacts and risk to the environment.

Air, Soil, Water and Biodiversity are the four main components underlying the CSFSP. A wide range of agriculture practices are supported under the BMPs for financial and technical assistance, including manure and nutrient management, water quality, improved crop management, riparian area management and wildlife management.
