Abstract: Presentation of a three-year-project (1995-97) including the development, implementation and evaluation of an integrated quality and environmental management system after the international standards ISO 9002 and ISO 14001. The contents of a Joint Manual is described, the framework of an individual manual is outlined and the principles are discussed. It is concluded that it is possible to develop and apply a Joint Manual that outlines a framework for several farm enterprises with similar production. The concepts of quality and environmental management as described in the standards require individual systems for individual enterprises. In this case it is fulfilled by an individual quality and environmental manual, containing all the specific management tools required. A high degree of involvement of the farmer, his wife and his employees is absolutely necessary right from the beginning of the process because quality and environmental management highly affect the farmer’s attitudes.
