"The British Farm Standard was set up to establish and sustain public confidence in the way that food is produced," explained David Clarke, Chief Executive of Assured Food Standards. "The success of the British Farm Standard relies on the support and participation not only of farmers and growers, but also of the food chain as a whole" he added.
Farmers and growers are inspected by qualified independent inspectors who check all aspects of the production process from animal movements to housing, feed, animal health and welfare, and the way they care for the countryside.
"This means that thousands of farmers are practicing high standards of animal welfare, food safety and environmental practices," continued Mr Clarke.
