  • Environmental Baselining and Impact Measurement in Climate Positive Farming | LEAF Surgery
    Mar 20 2026

    In this LEAF Surgery session, we explore how environmental baselining can evolve from simple data collection into a powerful tool for decision‑making, farm resilience, and value creation across the supply chain.

    We were joined by two expert speakers:

    Sarah Haynes, Head of Sustainability at the Institute of Grocery Distribution (IGD) – sharing insights from IGD’s work on the value of baselining England’s farmland and why coordinated, large‑scale approaches matter.
    Carolien Samson, Head of Sustainable Farming at Oxbury Bank – discussing how baselining underpins investment decisions, risk management, and the transition to more resilient farming systems.

    Key Takeaways

    • Different stakeholders need different levels of data – from individual farms to national and global supply chains – causing fragmentation.
    • Baselining offers both environmental and economic benefits, but greater alignment is needed to reduce duplication and reporting burdens.
    • “Good enough and scalable” metrics are often more useful than “perfect” data.
    • Strong governance and transparency build trust and unlock value for everyone.
    • Farmers must stay at the centre, ensuring data genuinely supports on‑farm decisions and delivers real benefits.
