Integrated management systems (a) Establishment The Secretary shall establish a research and education program concerning integrated re- source management and integrated crop man- agement in order to enhance research related to farming operations, practices, and systems that optimize crop and livestock production poten- tial and are environmentally sound. The purpose of the program shall be— (1) to encourage producers to adopt inte- grated crop and livestock management prac- tices and systems that minimize or abate ad- verse environmental impacts, reduce soil ero- sion and loss of water and nutrients, enhance the efficient use of on-farm and off-farm in- puts, and maintain or increase profitability and long-term productivity; (2) to develop knowledge and information on integrated crop and livestock management systems and practices to assist agricultural producers in the adoption of these systems and practices; (3) to accumulate and analyze information on agricultural production practices re- searched or developed under programs estab- lished under this subchapter, chapter 86 of this title,1 and other appropriate programs of the Department of Agriculture to further the de- velopment of integrated crop and livestock management systems; (4) to facilitate the adoption of whole-farm integrated crop and livestock management systems through demonstration projects on in- dividual farms, including small and limited re- source farms, throughout the United States; and (5) to evaluate and recommend appropriate integrated crop and livestock management policies and programs. (b) Development and adoption of integrated crop management practices The Secretary shall encourage agricultural producers to adopt and develop individual, site- specific integrated crop management practices. On a priority basis, the Secretary shall develop and disseminate information on integrated crop management systems for agricultural producers in specific localities or crop producing regions where the Secretary determines— (1) water quality is impaired as a result of local or regional agricultural production prac- tices; or (2) the adoption of such practices may aid in the recovery of endangered or threatened spe- cies. (c) Development and adoption of integrated re- source management practices The Secretary shall, on a priority basis, de- velop programs to encourage livestock pro- ducers to develop and adopt individual, site-spe- cific integrated resource management practices. These programs shall be designed to benefit pro- ducers and consumers through— (1) optimum use of available resources and improved production and financial efficiency for producers; (2) identifying and prioritizing the research and educational needs of the livestock indus- try relating to production and financial effi- ciency, competitiveness, environmental sta- bility, and food safety; and (3) utilizing an interdisciplinary approach.
