Farm Standards

Welcome to Red Tractor Assurance for farms – part of the Red Tractor Assurance Scheme assuring food safety, animal welfare, hygiene and environmental protection every part of the food chain.

These Standards have been written and revised by our Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) in consultation with customers, farmer representatives and the wider industry to ensure they are clear and provide meaningful, credible farm assurance for all.

This is essential with the increasing demand for traceability of food, growing consumer awareness of animal welfare issues in livestock production and a need to minimise pesticide residues.
