LFP Certified

LFP Certified is a Canadian certification program administered by Local Food Plus, a non-profit organization dedicated to developing sustainable local food systems. The certification is available to farmers and food producers across Canada who meet standards covering ecological farming practices, fair and safe working conditions, humane livestock care, biodiversity protection, and reduced energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

The program gives consumers a reliable way to identify products that are not only locally sourced but also produced according to a broad set of social and environmental criteria. For producers, earning the LFP Certified mark signals a commitment that goes beyond basic local sourcing to encompass responsible land stewardship and ethical labor practices.

This certification is most relevant to Canadian farmers and agricultural businesses looking to differentiate their products in local markets and connect with buyers who prioritize sustainability alongside locality. It is particularly suited to those who already operate with sustainable practices and want third-party recognition to communicate that to customers and retail partners.
