Best Management Practices in the Everglades Agricultural Area series

<p class="MsoNormal">Best management practices, or BMPs, are cost-efficient processes and activities that improve many aspects of daily life, from healthcare to food service. Agricultural BMPs aim to reduce water use and water quality impacts on farms and ranches while improving or maintaining soil. Additional BMPs focus on forestry practices and lawn care. In Florida, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) adopts by rule specific BMP manuals as a part of the state&rsquo;s water quality policy.</p>

<p>Las mejores pr&aacute;cticas de gesti&oacute;n (BMPs por sus siglas en ingl&eacute;s), son procesos y actividades costo-efectivos que mejoran muchos aspectos de la vida diaria, desde la salud al servicio de alimentos. Las mejores pr&aacute;cticas en agricultura apuntan a reducir el uso del agua y los impactos en la calidad del agua en granjas y ranchos mientras se mejora o se cuida el suelo. Algunas pr&aacute;cticas de gesti&oacute;n adicionales est&aacute;n enfocadas en las actividades de silvicultura y cuidado del c&eacute;sped. En Florida., el Departamento de Agricultura y Servicios al Consumidor (FDACS) adopta por mandato&nbsp; manuales espec&iacute;ficos de mejores pr&aacute;cticas como parte de las pol&iacute;ticas del estado en calidad del agua.&nbsp;</p>
