OUR RAISON D‘ETRE

GLOBALG.A.P Principles


WE ARE:

•  translating consumer requirements into Good Agricultural Practice

•  bringing trust to Farm Assurance at affordable prices

•  aiming at „one standard through the farm gate“

•  a harmonization and benchmarking platform

•  an integrity system provider

WE ARE NOT:

•  just another standard owner

•  founded to compete against other standards

•  a certification body

•  a consumer label

•  just a retailer standard

•  for profit

GLOBALG.A.P IFA Structure

1. CHOSE COMBINABLE CROPS SCOPE: AF + CB + CC


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
