Detail and development

This short-report marks the launch of the new GFM framework, designed to bring clarity and alignment to sustainability in farming. It explores updates to the framework and how the GFM is already helping farmers, businesses and policymakers speak a common language and drive action.

This report marks the official launch of the new Global Farm Metric (GFM) framework – a shared language for measuring sustainability on farms. Developed with input from farmers, researchers, businesses and policymakers, the updated framework introduces a refined set of categories and outcomes that reflect the complex, interconnected nature of farming systems.

The report explores what’s new in the GFM and shows how these changes support more consistent, outcomes-focused data collection across different contexts. Through real-world case studies and practical insights, it also demonstrates how the GFM is already being used to spark meaningful conversations, support decision-making and connect efforts across the supply chain.

Whether it’s informing growing plans, guiding investment decisions or shaping policy, the GFM framework is a practical tool for turning data into action – helping to build a more resilient and regenerative food system.
