Have you ever wanted to know exactly how your food is produced? You’re in the right place.
A Greener World (AGW) promotes practical, sustainable solutions in agriculture by supporting farmers and educating consumers. 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.
Your support of A Greener World allows us to:
- Certify and Support Independent Farms
- Promote Animal Welfare and Sustainability
- Educate Consumers on Greener Food Choices
Empowering Sustainable Solutions in Agriculture
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 to the public and offer practical guidance on achieving truly sustainable livestock farming systems to farmers and ranchers.
Vision and Mission
We envision a world where farming benefits people, animals and the environment through integrity and transparency.
Established in 2014, our evolving mission has four key components:
- To identify and promote agricultural systems that have a positive impact on the environment, society and animals (wild and farmed)
- To educate consumers about the environmental, social and animal outcomes of their food purchasing decisions
- To establish and promote trusted farm certification programs that help reconnect the consumer and food producer by encouraging—and rewarding—positive farm management changes
- To support independent farmers who are committed to sustainable livestock production
Why?
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.
