Chapter synopsis:

Recognizing a need for sustainability approaches beyond current models of certification, the Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) established the Sustainable Agriculture Framework (SAF) in 2018, an outcome-based approach designed to guide organizations and local stakeholders towards greater and more durable progress in achieving sustainability and, ultimately, more positive changes for landscapes, farmers, communities and companies alike. This chapter describes SAF and how it has been applied in practice in a number of sustainability programmes.
