Abstract
The Partnership for a Sustainable Georgia's
AgTrack Program is a joint effort with the state's
Department of Natural Resources Pollution Prevention
Assistance Division (P2AD) and University of Georgia's
Cooperative Extension Service. Through the AgTrack
Program, Georgia's farmers and producers volunteer to
create an environmental management system (EMS) and
implement conservation practices while being promoted
as an environmental leader in the state. The AgTrack
Program involves all sectors of Georgia agriculture,
including row crops, poultry, dairy, and urban agriculture
(nurseries, greenhouses, and turf). This partnership also
involves businesses and organizations outside of
agriculture which are also in the Partnership for a
Sustainable Georgia. The Partnership hopes to lead to an
exchange of ideas between agriculture and industry that
achieves a common goal of environmental stewardship
across the entire state of Georgia.
