LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming)

LEAF is the umbrella organisation in the UK for the promotion of Integrated Farm Management (IFM), which is seen by many in the industry as the most suitable way forward for conventional agriculture to deliver the multifaceted benefits being increasingly demanded of it.

IFM is a farming system that seeks to balance optimum, high quality agricultural production with environmental protection to create a sustainable industry within a viable rural economy.

Carrs Fertilisers are corporate members of LEAF and fully endorse their work in promoting IFM. Our support extends beyond words to the development of products (New Choice) and services (Technical Services) designed for IFM.

Carrs Fertilisers are also involved in sponsorship initiatives with LEAF.
