Benefits of Farm Assurance
The range of benefits for farmers, food manufacturers, retailers and consumers include:
Best practice
Farm Assurance can help you build a reputation for the highest standards of food production and supply chain integrity. Being certified against a leading industry standard or scheme proves to buyers that you have met the highest standards in your area of production.
Traceability
Farm Assurance can prove provenance across the whole supply chain, from fertiliser and feed through to the end product. This gives buyers greater confidence in the origin of your produce.
Sustainability
Sustainable faming and agriculture practices that promote environmental protection are a key element of Farm Assurance, showcasing your commitment to best practice processes and ways of working.
