We sustainably certify arable farms
The DLG standard 'Sustainable Arable Farming' determines a farm's sustainability profile in three stages.
It is based on the calculation of indicators of the DLG standard 'Sustainable Agriculture' in the areas of ecology, economy and social aspects as well as proof in the area of management. For the certification, target value ranges have been developed for the indicators in order to determine the farm's sustainability status.
