We know that our farmers know their land better than anyone, and by providing them with another tool, together we can help to drive more sustainable food production, while caring for the environment.  

Land App is an industry leader in using data and mapping, which will help our farmers in Great Britain to measure biodiversity accurately and quickly across the land they manage. By combining Land App with biodiversity expertise at UKCEH, farmers are able to receive suggestions on how to balance their land-use between food production and creating habitats. The farmers will receive suggestions and advice on activities such as tree planting, river protection, pollinator-friendly areas, and wild-bird food.

“The environment is extremely important to Sainsbury’s and our customers, as a business we depend on nature and want to ensure that through our direct operations and wider supply chains we are doing everything we can to protect and preserve it. By collaborating with industry experts, and combining it with the wealth of knowledge that our farmers have, together we can play a part in making our food better for the planet.” Gavin Hodgson, Director of Agriculture, Horticulture & Fisheries

 “The demand for balancing food production with environmental recovery has never been so pressing. Land App is delighted to partner with Sainsbury’s to help drive environmental regeneration across our landscapes, whilst promoting sustainable food production” Dan Geerah, Innovation and Partnerships, Land App

The project launched in March 2023 and will become part of a suite of projects we have with suppliers, to help deliver our ambitious sustainability plan, Plan for Better.
