Quantifying the Impact of Actual Farm Practices
The EcoPractices® platform determines environmental benefits through its unique process that can pinpoint specific influences of individual agricultural practices. While
agricultural practices have progressed to better care for natural resources, the ability to quantify the influence these practices have on sustainability has not kept pace. South Dakota Pork seeks to put evidence-based measurements to its farm practices. Having such data brings more depth to decision-making. Short- and long-term goals can be based upon more meaningful information.
