Case Study: Jordans Farm Partnership

Working together. More sustainable food and farming through LEAF Marque

JFP_Logos.png#asset:2940

There is increasing appreciation amongst leading food brands of the role of the LEAF Marque assurance system in helping address their own sustainability targets. LEAF has been working with Jordans, the UK’s fourth largest cereals manufacturer, for the past two years on a progressive new initiative to create a unique model to deliver more sustainable farming, built around the LEAF Marque Standard.

Known as the Jordans Farm Partnership, and also involving The Wildlife Trusts and The Prince’s Countryside Fund, it is working to address key issues facing rural communities. All farmers supplying oats to Jordans are required to farm to LEAF’s high environmental standards and be LEAF Marque certified. This builds on the huge amount of work they have already put into creating and managing habitats for wildlife.

The Jordans Farm Partnership is an excellent example of how LEAF Marque is providing opportunities for food brands to build on and demonstrate their own sustainability commitments and to strive to do even more to deliver more sustainable food and farming.
