CYFF Best Management Practice (BMP) Workshops:
Through extensive research encompassing farm communities in Canada, the United States and Mexico, 10-best management practices (BMP) of leading farmers have been identified. The CYFF workshop series will present these BMP concepts in an open discussion forum, allowing participants to share their own experiences in the management area. Participants will also learn from the experiences and opinions of their peers.
While a traditional workshop series may focus on intense exploration of technical skills, the CYFF workshop allows for open dialogue and a group rating of the level of implementation of each BMP, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the group.
