Environmental Farm Planning

Nutrient Management Reference Guide



The Nutrient Management Reference Guide is for planners and agricultural producers in British Columbia desiring to do a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) for their farm.

Developing a NMP is intended to help farmers optimize their crop  nutrient usage, while protecting valuable soil, water, and air resources.  In addition to the economic and environmental benefits, Nutrient Management Planning is a valuable educational process that helps to ensure a farmer is in compliance with all relevant legislation.

The Nutrient Management Plan has been developed as a subcomponent of the Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) process. It is recommended that farmers first do an Environmental Farm Plan and then do a Nutrient Management Plan if directed to do so by the EFP process. This Guide is one of a number of publications prepared to support the implementation of the
Canada - BC Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) Program.
