About the Standard:

 

The ground-breaking National Sustainable Agriculture Standard, developed through the American National Standards Institute's (ANSI) open, multi-stakeholder process, provides voluntary guidance and opportunities for recognition for producers interested in or engaged in sustainable crop production.  Producers, manufacturers and processors, distributors, and retailers can all use the standard to specify sustainability in their purchasing and sales.

 

The  LEO-4000 Standard will help users navigate the increasingly confusing range of proprietary sustainability labels, specifications, information requests, and guides for agricultural products. It is a comprehensive sustainability standard that provides a stable and reliable platform for producers to use in documenting and communicating their sustainability achievements in environmental, social, and economic criteria while remaining flexible to meet the diverse needs of agriculture.
