The Compleat Food Group (TCFG), which is behind household food brands such as Pork Farms, Wall’s Pastry and Squeaky Bean, has forged a partnership with York-based bioacoustics technology firm, AgriSound.

TCFG is aiming to transform its green space management and improve biodiversity across its sites.

The collaboration with AgriSound will enable TCFG to assess and enhance its impact on pollinator populations, reinforcing the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

As part of TCFG’s nature strategy, AgriSound will deploy its advanced monitoring devices across a variety of habitats within TCFG’s estate, including grasslands, wildflower meadows, woodlands, and re-wilded areas.

These devices will provide real-time data on pollinator activity, enabling TCFG to evaluate the effectiveness of its landscaping efforts and make informed decisions to support biodiversity.

David Moore, group head of ESG, said: “At The Compleat Food Group, we believe that food should make you feel good. Our journey isn’t just about the meals we create, but the impact we have on people, the planet, and the communities around us.

“Partnering with AgriSound allows us to leverage cutting-edge technology to monitor and enhance biodiversity across our estates, aligning with our commitment to become a net-zero business.”

Casey Woodward, founder of AgriSound, added: “We are excited to collaborate with The Compleat Food Group in its efforts to promote biodiversity.

“Our technology is designed to provide actionable insights into pollinator activity, helping organisations like TCFG make data-driven decisions to support and enhance natural ecosystems.”
