INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED STANDARD FOR FARM PRODUCTION

GLOBALG.A.P. establishes the benchmarks for smart farm assurance solutions, including a variety of standards for safe, socially responsible, and environmentally sustainable farming practices. The most extensively employed GLOBALG.A.P. standard is the Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA), which is applicable to fruit, vegetables, aquaculture, floriculture, livestock, and other sectors. This standard serves as the foundation for the GGN label, which represents a consumer label signifying certified and responsible farming practices, as well as transparency.
