About LEAF Marque
LEAF Marque is a leading global assurance system recognising more sustainably farmed products. LEAF Marque certified businesses have been independently verified against the robust LEAF Marque Standard.
The principles of Integrated Farm Management (IFM) underpin the requirements of LEAF Marque certification, as set out in the LEAF Marque Standard.
