LEAF - Farmers

Set up in 1991, LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) promotes environmentally responsible farming.

LEAF is pleased to be an industry partner in the Campaign for the Farmed Environment (CFE), which is an opportunity for our members to demonstrate their commitment to protecting and enhancing the farmed environment. As part of the Campaign, farmers are being asked to ensure that a third of their ELS points come from a list of key target options. These include options which result in cleaner water and healthier soil, protect farmland birds and encourage wildlife and biodiversity. Visit the CFE website  website or to find out which ELS and HLS management options help meet CFE targets, and record online what you're already doing!

We support farmers to produce good food, with care and to high environmental standards, identified in-store by the LEAF Marque logo.  We also build public understanding and trust of food and farming in a number of ways, including Open Farm Sunday and visits to a national network of Demonstration Farms.
