Garfield County VSP
Goals of VSP
- Promote plans that:
- Protect and enhance critical areas where agricultural activities are conducted
- Maintain and improve the long‐term viability of agriculture
- Reduce the conversion of farmland to other uses
- Use voluntary incentive programs to encourage good riparian and ecosystem stewardship strategies as an alternative to historic approaches used to protect critical areas
- Use existing resources and programs (local, county, state, and federal) to maximum extent practicable to achieve program goals
- Encourage and foster a spirit of cooperation and partnership among county, tribal, environmental, and agricultural interests to better assure program success
- Improve compliance with other laws designed to protect water quality and fish habitat
- Rely on voluntary stewardship actions as the primary method of protecting critical areas and not require the cessation of agricultural activities
