Protected Harvest is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing and certifying the use of environmentally and economically sustainable agriculture practices through the development of stringent, transparent and quantifiable standards, incentive-based eco-labeling and public education.

Incentive Based
Farmers are under increasing pressure to minimize their expenses – or lose the farm. While most farmers would like to adopt BioIPM practices that minimize environmental impacts, these practices are often more labor intensive and expensive. Being able to market a crop with the Protected Harvest label gives farmers the incentive they need to grow crops with minimal pesticides, so they can receive a fair return while maintaining their competitiveness in the marketplace. The result is affordable and environmentally friendly food – realistically obtainable by farmers and consumers alike. The result is environmentally friendly food that is realistic for farmers to produce and affordable for consumers to buy.
