A common framework for sustainability

What is the Global Farm Metric and how does it drive change across the food and farming system?

Over half of our habitable land is now farmed to feed a global food production system and supply chain. What happens on these farms will determine our future health, biodiversity and climate. However, there are barriers that prevent farmers from becoming a driver of positive change.

We urgently need farmers to measure their whole-farm impacts in a rigorous and consistent way to accelerate the transition to more sustainable food and farming systems.

This short report explains why we urgently need a common framework for whole-farm sustainability.
