Get to Know the Eight Sustainability Indicators

Grounded in science and focused on outcomes, the cornerstone of Field to Market’s program lies in the eight sustainability indicators embedded within the Fieldprint Platform. Designed to measure environmental outcomes from individual farm fields, these metrics are science-based tools that have been developed or adopted by Field to Market through the multi-stakeholder governance process over the past decade.

The Platform measures the impact of farm management practices on eight sustainability indicators: Biodiversity, Energy Use, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Irrigation Water Use, Land Use, Soil Carbon, Soil Conservation and Water Quality.
