Leading Harvest, a nonprofit who has developed and implemented a world-leading sustainability assurance program to advance sustainable agriculture and food production, has announced that it is launching a pilot program in Australia. Through the pilot program, Leading Harvest and the partners participating in the pilot will establish a ‘Farmland Management Standard’ unique to Australia that reflects the agronomic, regulatory, and operating realities of the region following the model pioneered in the U.S.
Warakirri, representing Warakirri Cropping, Daybreak Cropping, Warakirri Diversified Agriculture Fund and Warakirri Farmland Fund, are delighted to be an inaugural partner with Leading Harvest on the Australian pilot program, an important initiative to develop a tailored, independently audited Sustainability Standard for the Australian Agricultural industry and to advocate for change on matters that are important to our investors.
