An Integrated Environmental Impact Assessment System for Responsible Rural Production in Uruguay

Abstract

The present paper presents EIAR-Uruguay as an environmental management tool for indicating PPR’s participating farmers which practices and technology need improvements, and to facilitating the evaluation of the Project’s accomplishments. This experience has been recently brought to Chile in the ‘II PROCISUR (Cooperative Program for the Technological Agricultural and Agro-industrial Development of the South Cone ) Course on Models for Environmental Management of Rural Activities’, held in Chillán on the 13th and 14th of December 2007, resulting in promising prospects to offer support for the ‘Clean Production Initiative’ being forwarded in this country.
