What is Best Farms?

BestFarms is an Environmental Management System that was developed by the Blackwood Basin Group (BBG) in 2002 in response to the growing need to demonstrate environmentally sustainable production.

BestFarms assists landowners to identify and address environmental issues on their properties for long term management. The program is dedicated to providing a systematic approach to farming and other land use practices that will sustain environmental values and profitability.

Over 200 landholders across 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.
