WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE FARMING?
CarePantry's responsibly farmed wheat initiative involves the close collaboration of local farmers and their commitment to adopting a responsible approach to farming. Responsible farming techniques ensure that crops are grown sustainably and safely to protect the environment, whilst caring for the socio-economic conditions of the farmers and the local community as a whole.
​
Responsible farming also means that farmers are actively working to protect species and the ecosystem, with some farms dedicating a portion of their land to regenerating native bushland and caring for native habitats.
DOES CAREPANTRY HOLD ANY RESPONSIBLY FARMED CERTIFICATION?
Farmers we work with follow a sustainable agriculture programme under the guidelines of the SAI Platform, a global authority dedicated to sustainable agriculture. Adopted by some of the world’s leading brands, the aim is to implement farming practices that help protect the environment, care for the wellbeing of farmers and the overall farming community, as well as looking after animal species.
