Farm Sustainability Award
A farm that is good for the planet and pays its way.
About this category
This award recognises a farm that has measurably reduced its environmental impact, whether carbon, water, pollution or waste, while keeping the business profitable. Judges look for evidence, a joined up plan and results.
Eligibility
Open to UK farms of every size and type.
Judging criteria
- Measured environmental results
- Business viability
- A joined up plan
- Innovation
- Sharing with others
Qualitative criteria
Sustainability proven in the numbers.
Metrics
- Carbon footprint
- Input use
- Water quality
- Waste and margins over time
Additional criteria
Entries should include a short account of the farm or business, supporting figures such as yields, herd or flock performance, costs or margins where relevant, and, where possible, comments from customers, buyers, advisers or neighbours. Figures can be given as ranges or percentages and nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size, type and location of the farm, so a small upland holding competes on equal terms with a large lowland estate.
