Agricultural Production and Rural Environment Standard
GLOBALG.A.P is a private sector body (product certification scheme) that sets voluntary standards for the certification of production processes of agricultural (including aquaculture) products of the primary food sector, around the globe. The GLOBALG.A.P standard is designed to reassure consumers about how food is produced on the farm by minimizing detrimental environmental impacts of farming operations, reducing the use of chemical inputs and ensuring a responsible approach to worker health and safety as well as animal welfare. GLOBALG.A.P serves as a practical manual for Good Agricultural Practice (G.A.P.) anywhere in the world.
Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) is a single integrated standard with modular applications for different product groups, ranging from plant and livestock production to plant propagation materials and compound feed manufacturing. The standard serves as a global reference system for other existing standards and can also easily and directly be applied by all parties of the primary food sector. In other words: GLOBALG.A.P operates like a satellite navigation system. It equips members with a reliable tool kit, which allows each partner in the supply chain to position themselves in a global market with respect to consumer requirements.
