Soil Management Plan

Environment Hub » Soil Water » Soil Management Plan »

The BPEX soil management plan can help outdoor producers assess the risk of soil erosion and damage to the land that pigs occupy and identify suitable measures to prevent and record this. The soil management plan is not a substitute for the Soil Protection Review or ELS Plan where these are needed.

The soil management plan is a working document for farmers to use before moving onto a new site, during occupancy and finally on vacation of the site. This will demonstrate diligence to landlords, regulators and inspectors.

The plan consists of two components:

Soil Management Plan for Outdoor Pig Keepers
Land Management Plan  (Field Characteristic Sheet)
