RED Tractor Assurance is urging farmers to engage in a consultation in January on how its farm standards should evolve.
A consultation will open on January 5 2021 with proposals put forward on how the standards should look across the scheme’s six sectors; beef and lamb, poultry, pigs, dairy, fresh produce and combinable crops and sugar beet.
Red Tractor is seeking input from across the industry before finalising the proposals of what the schemes standards will be from November 2021.
The proposals have been developed over 12 months, with representatives from across the food chain- including farming organisations, farmers, vets, processors and retailers- involved in every step of the process.
Together they have studied consumer trends, reviewed the latest science and evidence, as well as benchmarked the scheme against competitors and industry best practice.
