EnviroPork: pork industry guide to managing environmental effects - has replaced the Code of Practice: Pig Farming (1997). The purpose of EnviroPork is to provide a basic guide that is applicable to all pig farmers, irrespective of size and type of production system. EnviroPork gives an overview of how the RMA works and highlights activities on the farm that may have an impact on the environment. The Enviropork manual is available at the right.
Environmental Management System (EMS)
The Environmental Management System (EMS) template is an online tool that allows producers to assess their current management performance and then identify areas that could be improved. This template also gives a guide for application of manure (for example, how far away the spreading of manure to land should be from the neighbours). The template is online at http://nzporkems.massey.ac.nz
