Why Join LEAF?

Five Great Reasons to become a member

Join LEAF and save money –

LEAF members can demonstrate tangible financial and environmental benefits delivered through Integrated Farm Management (IFM). In a recent survey of LEAF members 66% of LEAF farmers agreed with the statement ‘by adopting LEAF and IFM principles we have benefited financially’, on average each farm saved £14,000 (or £40.00 per hectare).
