THE LOGOS

THE LOGO

When you see the “Certified Harmony” label, it means that the entire wheat supply chain involved in the creation of the product meets Harmony requirements. This includes the farm that produces the Harmony, but also cooperatives, mills, and factories handling and using the wheat, until the product is packed and ready for the consumer.

INGREDIENT TAG

The yellow tag in the label indicates the ingredient that is Harmony certified, in this case, “Wheat flour”. The asterisk directs you to information back of pack that specifies further details about the content of Harmony material in the product. Learn more here

THE CLAIMS

Harmony is committed to improving soil health and biodiversity by proudly supporting wheat farmers using these practices:

Harmony works with wheat farmers to improve soil health and biodiversity through regenerative agriculture practices. Farmers who follow the Harmony farming charter receive a premium payment per ton of wheat produced in line with these practices.)

1. Limit soil disturbance

Certified farmers reduce ploughing and intensive tillage. This helps protect soil structure, keeps carbon stored in the soil and supports microorganisms that are essential for soil fertility.

2. Dedicating space to biodiversity

Certified farmers set aside areas such as hedgerows, flower strips or field margins. These habitats support pollinators, birds and beneficial insects that contribute to healthier ecosystems.

3. Diversifying crops

Rotating different crops over time helps improve soil fertility and break pest and disease cycles. Crop diversity also strengthens farm resilience to climate variability.

4. Reducing the use of chemicals

Certified farmers work to optimise and reduce the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. This helps protect soil life, water quality and surrounding biodiversity, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emission.

What does it mean to be a Harmony-certified farm?

Harmony certification for a farm means that the farm has followed a holistic set of agricultural practices, rooted in regenerative agriculture, that are outlined in the Harmony Charter. These science-based practices have been developed in consultation with experts and stakeholders – including farmers – and aim to protect biodiversity, improve soil health, and promote the long-term resilience of agricultural systems. Practices include crop diversity and rotation, minimizing soil disturbance, and setting aside space for on farm biodiversity, especially pollinators.

Testimony from Harmony farmers

Farmer Harmony, France : Harmony provides real support and monitoring for my farming activity. Applying the charter is beneficial not only for my farm and the environment, but also for the fertility of the soil, a farmer’s most precious asset.

Marie Hélène, Farmer Harmony France

I’m taking concrete steps to reduce my impact, like the 3km of hedges I’ve already planted in 10 years. That’s what being a farmer is all about: working ever harder for biodiversity while feeding the men and women of the planet.

Emeric, Farmer Harmony France

Farmer Harmony, France : Harmony supports farmers who work for and with nature. By implementing good agricultural practices, such as planting wildflower strips, we are also able to connect with people, who can see firsthand our commitment to pollinators.
