MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR CERTIFICATION
As an AGW-certified business, you’ve earned the right to use one of the most valuable, meaningful labels leading the marketplace today. What’s more, you’ve joined an ever-growing community of farmers and ranchers who are industry leaders in farm animal welfare and environmental sustainability.
This guide explains how we can work together to maximize your certification—and by doing so, convey your hard work and sustainable farm management practices to your customers!
CONSUMERS WANT YOUR PRODUCTS
Research shows that Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW has the highest impact on consumer purchasing of any food label. The market for grassfed beef is expected to grow US$14.08 billion by 2024, and the market for non-GMO products is surging 17% annually.*
As an AGW-certified farm or business, you’re now ideally placed to meet the growing demand for high-welfare, sustainable, locally produced food—and you’ve got the best labels to help sell your products! *The Hartman Group and Technavio
“The only [animal welfare label] we have any confidence in and think gives you value for your money is Animal Welfare Approved” Consumers Union in The New York Times
Almost 8 out of 10 Americans now say sustainability and animal welfare are key priorities when purchasing food Cone Communications Food Issues Trend Tracker
