We work to inspire and enable sus­tain­able farm­ing that is pros­per­ous, enrich­es the envi­ron­ment and engages local communities.

Near­ly half (45%) of UK fruit and veg­eta­bles are being pro­duced sus­tain­ably to the LEAF Mar­que Stan­dard, it was revealed today as LEAF (Link­ing Envi­ron­ment And Farm­ing) announces its lat­est glob­al impacts.

Fol­low­ing gov­ern­ment guide­lines for Covid-19 (coro­n­avirus), the LEAF office at Stoneleigh Park, War­wick­shire, will be manned with a skele­ton staff until fur­ther notice.

Mea­sures have been put in place to ensure that all staff remain avail­able to respond and con­tin­ue to work with you, our farm­ers, mem­bers and stake­hold­ers, dur­ing these times. The LEAF head office num­ber (02476 413911) will remain open and our gen­er­al enquiries email address ([email protected]​leafuk.​org) will con­tin­ue to be mon­i­tored from 9am-5pm Mon­day to Fri­day. Alter­na­tive­ly, head over to the ​“Meet The Team” page to find out who you can con­tact directly.

We apol­o­gise in advance for any delay in cor­re­spon­dence and any incon­ve­nience that this may cause and we thank you for your patience, under­stand­ing and con­tin­ued sup­port dur­ing this time.

In a year dom­i­nat­ed by Coro­n­avirus and Brex­it, LEAF’s 2020 Annu­al Review looks back at the achieve­ments of LEAF mem­bers and projects through­out the year.

Our 10-Year Strat­e­gy 2021 – 2031 is an advance­ment of our work in devel­op­ing and pro­mot­ing more sus­tain­able agri­cul­ture through Inte­grat­ed Farm Man­age­ment. We will sup­port the deliv­ery of Pos­i­tive Action for Cli­mate, Nature, Econ­o­my and Soci­ety based on our core work and the prin­ci­ples of Cir­cu­lar Agri­cul­ture as set out in our Vision and Mission.
