Eco-Credit™ Pillars

Our Pledges

  • Climate

    Improve waste sustainability

    Through minimising the use of all packaging and recycling all waste products where possible, Plateau Organics pledges to improve sustainability on-farm.

  • Soil

    Increase soil carbon

    Through strategic best practices and diverse pasture species, the farm is endeavouring to increase soil carbon across the irrigated and dryland areas of the farm. This mitigates the negative effects of agriculture on the environment and is validated by repeated annual soil tests.

  • Landscape

    Increase ecological assets

    Riparian areas will be expanded and improved through increased ground cover and strategic wind breaks. Grass and pasture cover to be maintained around dams to minimise destructive water flow in heavy damaging rain events and the surface spring water used only for orchards.
