ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Farmer's Pride International (FPI) defines environmental management as a comprehensive system that integrates key processes such as summarizing, monitoring, reporting, and implementing environmental policies. This system is central to the Rural and Urban Agriculture Innovative Production Program (RUAIPP), which emphasizes sustainable practices to address ecological challenges. By systematically assessing the environmental impacts of agricultural and industrial activities, FPI seeks to promote solutions rooted in Sustainable Land Management (SLM), Regenerative Agriculture, and Agroecology Systems. These methodologies not only reduce harm to ecosystems but also enhance soil health, increase biodiversity, and ensure sustainable agricultural productivity.
FPI's environmental management initiatives are designed to secure a healthy planet for future generations while preserving all forms of life. Through RUAIPP, the organization encourages the adoption of practices that balance environmental stewardship with economic development. By integrating sustainable land management (SLM), regenerative agriculture, and agroecological systems, FPI aims to inspire communities, governments, and industries to collaborate in fostering ecological resilience. These efforts align with FPI's commitment to creating a harmonious relationship between human activity and the natural world, ensuring that agriculture becomes a driver of sustainability and prosperity for all.
How is the FPI Environment project structued?
-
Step 1: Environmental Policy
The FPI environmental Management project (EMP) development process starts with establishing an Environmental Policy that is tied to the organization’s mission.
-
Step 2: Planning
The planning step consists of identifying regulatory and other requirements; identifying processes, resources, and significant impacts; identifying pollution prevention opportunities; developing objectives and targets for improvement efforts; and creating planning, programming, and budgeting systems.
-
Step 3: Implementation
The implementation step consists of defining the structure, responsibilities, and programs; implementing training; creating the EMP documentation (including document control and record keeping); communicating the EMP to personnel; development partners on the FPI implementing standards and operating procedures; and developing and implementing emergency preparedness and response procedures for communities.
-
Step 4: Checking and Correction
The checking and corrective action steps include monitoring, evaluation and measuring (e.g., internal assessments), problem and cause identification, corrective and preventative action implementation, and an EMP Review.
-
Step 5: Management Review
In the management review step, upper management reviews the EMP, including the results of internal assessments. Modifications to the EMP are made, as necessary, to ensure compliance. The management review is designed to ensure continual improvement of the EMP, taking into account the results of the checking and corrective actions undertaken in Step 4.
