An environment is a separate file.
\environment is like \input with a few more checks, e.g. it loads the
file only once.

e.g.

-- file "env_foo.tex" --
\startenvironment env_foo
% settings
\stopenvironment
--


-- file document.tex --
\environment env_foo

\starttext
% whatever
\stoptext
--

Instead of the call within your document, you can also call

context --environment=env_foo.tex document

(Usually that makes only sense in XML workflows.)
