Organic farming

Environment

Organic agriculture recognises the relationship between our environment, our health and the food we eat.

Why we finance organic farming

As well as high animal welfare standards, it avoids using pesticides and chemical fertilisers and helps to revitalise the earth.

What's more, organic farming releases fewer greenhouse gases than non-organic farming, meaning a smaller carbon footprint. Lending in this sector varies from dairy and meat, to forestry and fruit.
