Course Overview :

LEAF’s mission is to inspire and facilitate more circular agricultural and food systems approaches through integrative, regenerative and dynamic nature-based solutions that generate productivity and prosperity among producers, enrich the environment and positively engage young people and society as a whole. In the context of IFM, the LEAF Marque system aims to generate positive actions for climate, nature, economy and society by transforming agricultural activity and food on an increasingly global level.
