Farm Assurance Review Monitoring and Reporting Commissioner David Llewellyn published his first monitoring report of the Farm Assurance Review on Monday 27 October.
Alistair Mackintosh, Chair of Red Tractor commented on the Farm Assurance Review monitoring report:
“Today’s update from David Llewelyn highlights Red Tractor’s progress and our commitment to delivering tangible change for farmers. Since welcoming the recommendations in the review, Red Tractor has increased transparency around decision‑making, formalised the process for setting standards and delivered improvements to the Red Tractor portal. We’re also revamping our communications and exploring ways to reduce audit burden through technology and streamlining standards.
“This work focuses on delivering value and improving how assurance works for farmers, but it will take time. Farmer representatives on our Sector Boards have been involved at every stage, helping shape reforms that aim to deliver greater value to members. They are integral to Red Tractor, and I look forward to continuing to work with them and with stakeholders across the industry and supply chains through the upcoming standards review to ensure our requirements are robust, practical and meet consumer expectations.”
