WWF is working with major companies and their supply chains to ensure that key farmed commodities are produced and processed in a sustainable manner – one that preserves and restores critical habitats, helps protect watersheds, and improves soil health and water quality.
Sustainable Farming

Agriculture is essential to supplying our food, valuable fibres like cotton and, ever more increasingly, biofuels too.
In recent years, aquaculture has emerged as the fastest growing food production system in the world.
Farming is also the world's largest industry, employing over one billion people and generating over one trillion dollars' worth of food annually.
And it's the largest driver of habitat and biodiversity loss around the world.
