The UK starts to shift towards regenerative agriculture. Farmers and supermarkets are using the Global Farm Metric to measure the impact of food production on the environment. Organic and conventional companies alike use the new calculation model.

It considers nine dimensions: soil, plants, animals, energy, air, water as well as social, cultural and economic life. Behind the Sustainability Flower, in addition to Soil & More Impacts, are: Eosta, Ambootia, Sekem, Lebensbaum, Alnatura, Rapunzel and the Sustainable Food Trust.
