To establish and promote trusted farm certification programs that help reconnect the consumer and food producer by encouraging, and rewarding, positive farm management changes 4. To support independent farmers who are committed to sustainable livestock production

Activities or mission (Part I)

  • Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW is an independent, nonprofit farm certification program and food label. Animal Welfare Approved AWA is the only farm certification that guarantees all animals are raised outdoors on pasture or range, ensuring high-welfare management and truly sustainable agricultural practices. No other food label offers these distinctions. AGW is the only farm animal welfare certifier in the U.S. accredited to ISO/IEC Guide 17065, providing the highest level of oversight and scrutiny for the programs in its scope.

    Expenses $1,062,554

While other grassfed labels exist, none can match the breadth, integrity, and transparency that Certified Grassfed by AGW offers.

    Expenses $354,185

  • Certified Regenerative by AGW is the only certification in North America that provides a holistic assurance of continual improvement, measuring real change in partnership to benefit soil, water, air, biodiversity, infrastructure, animal welfare and social responsibility.
