With growing concerns over the sustainability of food production, we understand that we have a role to play in protecting our environment. We are determined to effectively manage our business activities to ensure we have a positive environmental impact and are currently in the early stages of establishing an environmental management programme for our operational sites.

Marshalls currently farm 2,400 Ha of conventional vegetable crops both on their own managed operations and with selected commission growers. In addition to this 70 Ha of organic crops are grown locally. Much of this local production sits on the deep alluvial loam soils around the Boston area.

Increasing farmland biodiversity is a major focus for our farming operations spearheaded by the extensive replanting of hedgerows and introduction of field margins which has both facilitated wildlife corridors and enhanced native species. Buffer zones are now well established in line with the Local Biodiversity Action Plan.

Marshalls work closely with non governmental organisations such as LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) and FWAG (Farming Wildlife Advisory Group) to develop our Integrated Crop Management approach carefully balancing environmental concerns with the economic production of high quality vegetable crops. Assured Produce, LEAF marque and Soil Association audits are conducted annually to ensure our commitment and compliance to sustainable production.

Within our operations the management of waste is being reviewed to improve our waste segregation & reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill.
