/ Sustainable Agriculture / IPM Implementation Plan for the
Nebraska Cattle Industry /
Substantial work on Integrated Pest Management in Livestock has
provided technical resources for managing pests on livestock.
However, up to now little has been done to develop a program that
supports the adoption of IPM practices in this important agricultural
sector. This plan describes an IPM plan for the cattle industry
in Nebraska. It is based on the use of a comprehensive environmental
management system that includes conformance to international standards
and the use of life cycle assessment to provide ecolabels.
The IPM plan in pdf format can be found here.
/ Biodiversity-Landuse Indicators Workshop / Report
Changes in landscape due to such activities as agriculture, silviculture,
fishing, urban sprawl and transportation infrastructure have been
recognized for some time as one of the major causes of the loss
of biodiversity planet-wide. The lack of a consistent measurement
tool or tools (i.e., indicators) makes it difficult to assess
relative impacts and direct programs towards better conservation
practices. Recognizing this need, the Defenders of Wildlife and
the Institute for Environmental Research and Education (IERE)
organized a workshop at the Defenders of Wildlife's national offices
in Washington D.C. held on 13 July 2000. The workshop was attended
by representatives of environmental NGO's, the U.S. Government,
university researchers and business. Interests ranged widely,
but most of the participants had direct experience in developing
or using indicators or standards for environmental performance.
A report on the workshop can be found here.
