NATURES CHOICE
 

As part of our farm management policies both in the UK and overseas, we comply with Tesco's unique farm management scheme called ‘Natures Choice’.

It sets down environmental standards in farm management (pesticide usage, pollution prevention, protection of human health) and specifies shape, size, taste, variety and shelf life requirements for fresh produce.

The Watercress Company has changed some of their farm management practices in conjunction with ‘Natures Choice’ management policies, to include:-

 
•Reduction in fertiliser and pesticide usage
•Overhead irrigation to help control insects
•Shaker belts on harvesters to further reduce insect levels
•Enhancement of wildlife habitats
 
The highest scoring of the Natures Choice standard is ‘Gold’ and at TWC we are proud that all three production sites (UK, Spain & USA) all carry the Gold standard unique to Tesco.
