The LEAF Marque Scheme
The LEAF Marque scheme aims to deliver greater consumer confidence of the care farmers take to produce food. It offers assurance that their food has been produced in an environmentally responsible way.
The LEAF Marque standard is based on the principles of Integrated Farm Management (IFM), but principally aims to demonstrate and give recognition to farmers for their advanced resource management in the protection and enhancement of the broad whole farm environment and landscape.
A successful assessment by PAI will ensure that your ABM certificate is issued by a widely respected and recognised certification body using only assessors who are highly experienced in your industry sector.
