HOLISTIC APPROACH TO FARM ASSURANCE

•  The GLOBALG.A.P Standard is designed to assure consumers that the food they eat is produced according to Good Agricultural Practices

•  The Standard is holistic, emphasizing Good Agricultural Practice that minimizes the risk of microbiological contamination, lessens detrimental environmental impacts of farming operations, and ensures a responsible approach to worker health and safety as well as animal welfare

•  Continually improving and advancing our Standard to maintain the highest quality of Farm Assurance, through consultation with industry experts and practitioners from around the world

•  Based on supply chain consensus and product specific consumer expectations, the composition of the elements varies across the GLOBALG.A.P scopes
