GFM 2.0 deep dive

A deeper look into the development and detail of GFM 2.0 framework

Developed through ten years of research, collaboration and trials, GFM 2.0 provides a shared language and structure for understanding and measuring environmental, social and economic outcomes, helping to support better decisions and drive positive change across the food and farming system.

This report explains the evolution of the Global Farm Metric (GFM), the methods used in its development and the principles that underpin the framework. It describes the structure of GFM 2.0 and explores how it can be used to overcome key barriers to

sustainability by improving understanding, measurement and decision-making across the food and farming system. The indicators and their classification are included as an appendix and can be found here.
