✦ Synopsis

Discussions are often found in the environmental press about the possible advantages to an organization of implementing a formal environmental management system such as BS 7750, ISO 14001 and the EC Eco-Management and Audit Scheme. It is also widely recognized that these formal systems, although theoretically applicable to all, are often seen by many organizations as being too unwieldy, too prescriptive, frequently too expensive and often too public. However, there are many alternative options available to organizations who do not wish to commit themselves to a formal accredited system. The various options currently in use for informal environmental management in agriculture are discussed, with particular reference to a computerized system being developed at the University of Hertfordshire. Application examples are taken from the agricultural industry.
