About Farm For Good

Farm For Good is a Belgian network and cooperative that supports farmers transitioning toward regenerative, conservation-oriented organic agriculture. It brings together farms that want to change their practices while staying economically viable, and it positions itself as a bridge between agricultural transition and market access.

The organization works with farmers, agronomists, researchers, and food-industry partners to build local supply chains and create remunerative outlets for crops grown within its network. Its stated mission is to regenerate the land and feed people, with an emphasis on practical support, shared learning, and long-term value creation for farmers and customers alike.

Core Values

  • Regeneration: The organization’s guiding idea is to regenerate soils and ecosystems through farming systems that are more resilient and less dependent on conventional inputs.
  • Fair remuneration: Farm For Good emphasizes fair prices and shared risk, so that farmers are rewarded for quality work and can better capture value from their production.
  • Collaboration: Its model is built on cooperation among farmers, agronomists, researchers, processors, and brands to make transition workable in practice.
  • Transparency: The cooperative highlights transparent pricing, clear value-chain relationships, and concrete metrics to assess environmental impact.
  • Local impact: It favors Belgian and local supply chains that relocalize production and strengthen food-system resilience.

Unique Aspects

  • Dual structure of association and cooperative: Farm For Good combines farmer accompaniment with a cooperative that creates market outlets, linking agronomic transition directly to commercial demand.
  • Concrete scale in transition: The website states that the network includes 122 farms, 9,400 hectares in transition, and 3,900 tonnes under contract.
  • Multi-stakeholder ecosystem: It works with research centers and food-industry partners to support trials, knowledge sharing, and the creation of new value chains.
  • Named local filières: The organization is already involved in specific Belgian supply chains such as mustard, sunflower, bread wheat, oats, and other crops in development.
  • Support for farmer transition funding: Farm For Good also offers a donor-backed support fund, managed through the Centre de Philanthropie of the King Baudouin Foundation, to finance agronomic accompaniment for farms in transition.
