Manitoba Agriculture and Rural Development delivers programming that supports the development of Manitoba's agriculture and agri-processing sector while protecting the province's environmental resources.

The Agri-Ecosystems & Land Management section of the Lands Branch is the point of contact in government for leadership and advice on agri-environmental issues and represents Manitoba in regional and national discussions. The Branch also oversees Manitoba's agri-environment programming.

Staff of Agri-Ecosystems & Land Management focus their efforts on the development of programs, policies, regulations and extension materials to facilitate the adoption of beneficial management practices (BMPs).
