Are your food choices investing in the planet? What we grow and eat has an incredible impact on our climate and environment, and that impact can be positive or negative. If you want to take action this Earth Day (coming up on April 22nd), invest in farms that invest in our planet by choosing sustainable products from AGW-certified farms that are building a high-welfare and transparent, sustainable food future. At A Greener World, we work to certify, support, and promote farms that are taking action to build a better earth for the future – you can learn more about A Greener World’s work in our video below (and please share widely)! Simply reach out to our team if we can help you make greener food choices, and we hope you’ll consider making a donation to A Greener World today. Your gift will directly support our work to certify farms that are helping to protect the planet for future generations. https://lnkd.in/gfm3Dt44 #EarthDay #InvestinourPlanet #AGreenerWorld

About us
A Greener World Our Food. Our Farms. Our Future. Let's Choose! With so much negativity around food and farming today, A Greener World serves as a beacon of positive change. We exist to promote and support real-life farming models and to offer practical guidance on achieving truly sustainable livestock farming systems to farmers. Established in 2014, our evolving mission has three key components: 1) To identify and promote agricultural systems that have a positive impact on the environment, society, and animals 2) To educate consumers about the environmental, social, and animal outcomes of their food purchasing decisions 3) To establish and promote trusted farm certification programs that help reconnect the consumer and food producer by encouraging—and rewarding—positive farm management changes. We believe the way we farm, the nutritional quality of the meat, milk and eggs produced, and the impact of farming systems on wildlife, the environment and wider society are all connected. Our goal is to offer a ‘one-stop shop’ for anyone interested in food, farming, and sustainability, providing simple solutions based on your own personal concerns. We’re extremely proud of our reputation among consumer groups, farmers, and the wider food industry as a pragmatic, farming-based organization driven by practical science and common sense. Our portfolio of leading farm certifications includes Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW, Certified Grassfed by AGW and Certified Non-GMO by AGW. Each program is specifically designed to have positive and measurable impacts on the environment, society, and animals, and to encourage truly sustainable farming practices. Developed with scientists, veterinarians, experts, and farmers from across the globe, our farm standards and certification procedures are reassuringly robust and totally transparent, while remaining realistic and achievable.
