Mejores Prácticas de Gestión
Las mejores prácticas de gestión (BMPs por sus siglas en inglés), son procesos y actividades costo-efectivos que mejoran muchos aspectos de la vida diaria, desde la salud al servicio de alimentos. Las mejores prácticas 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 prácticas de gestión adicionales están enfocadas en las actividades de silvicultura y cuidado del césped. En Florida., el Departamento de Agricultura y Servicios al Consumidor (FDACS) adopta por mandato manuales específicos de mejores prácticas como parte de las políticas del estado en calidad del agua.
