BestFarms Environmental Management Systems

BestFarms is an Environmental Management System that was developed by the Blackwood Basin Group (BBG) in 2003 in response to the growing need to demonstrate environmentally sustainable production. BestFarms will assist landowners to identify and address environmental issues on their properties for the long term. BestFarms is dedicated to providing a systematic approach to farming and other land use practices that will sustain environmental values and profitability.

The BBG is a community managed, not-for-profit natural resource management organisation, based in the south west of Western Australia, that is dedicated to providing positive and practical solutions to the environmental challenges farmers are facing.

Over 100 landholders in the southwest of Western Australia are currently implementing BestFarms systems on their properties. Participants range from small landholders with one acre to broadscale farmers and other industries such as certified organic, viticulture and horticulture. BestFarms is a flexible system that will help you manage environmental impacts on your property, no matter how big or small or your land use.
