What we say
his label is focused on the farmers and improving their practice and making positive changes. It does not guarantee human or animal welfare.
The scheme is not based on any national or European directives and is regulated privately. As part of the Brexit deal it was agreed that the EU organic logo can be continued to be used on organic food or feed until 31 December 2023.
It provides a minimum standard for sustainability, but it doesn’t guarantee that food will be organic, non-GM, produced in the UK or that animals will have not been intensively reared.
This one requires a bit more digging from Label Mouse to explore whether its really work looking out for – but post 2023, it might disappear from UK shelves entirely.
What they say
Guarantees sustainable farming standards, e.g. by managing soil quality, using water and energy efficiently and controlling pollution.
The scheme requires farms to take a whole business approach to delivering more sustainable, climate positive farming through:
- Increased implementation of regenerative practices.
- Improved positive action for climate change through energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprints.
- Improved soil management to enhance soil quality and soil health.
- Improved management of water use and water quality and enriched diversity of native habitats and species
