Abstract: As part of the Land Stewardship project, this document forms part of a set of papers that contribute to discussion and debate underpinning the preparation of Land Stewardship policy and program proposals. EMS and the potential of its application as a property-level environmental management tool by agricultural businesses is discussed. Central themes to this information paper are explorations of the nature of the relationship between EMS and land stewardship, and of the proposition that EMS implementation and payments for ecosystem services provision by farmers be linked.
