In 2023, the Latvian Nature Fund began work on developing a brand as part of the LIFE-IP LatViaNature project, to support managers of natural or EU-designated grassland habitats who produce goods or provide services. At the end of January 2024, the official launch event for the brand took place, and the first producers were granted the right to use the “Natural Meadow Product” label.
Through their farming practices, the holders of the right to use the label preserve and restore natural grasslands, providing the people of Latvia with food products and tourism services. These natural grassland managers are a shining example of how production can be based on relatively extensive methods and how natural grasslands can be successfully integrated into the production cycle, thereby generating income.

The owner of the "Natural Meadow Product" label is Latvian Nature Fund.
The brand was created as part of the LIFE19IPE/LV/000010 LIFE-IP LatViaNature project, with the aim of promoting business initiatives for the sustainable management of natural grasslands.
The project "Optimisation of the Management and Stewardship of Natura 2000 Protected Areas" (LIFE19IPE/LV/000010 LIFE-IP LatViaNature) is being implemented with financial support from the European Union’s LIFE programme and the State Regional Development Agency.
