Global G.A.P (Good Agricultural Practice) is a private sector body that sets voluntary standards for the certification of agricultural products around the world. The Global GAP certification is an internationally recognized standard for on-farm food safety and sustainable agricultural practices.
The Global GAP certification process involves an independent assessment of the farm’s compliance with the Global GAP standards, which cover areas such as food safety, worker health and safety, environmental protection, and animal welfare. The certification is awarded to farms that demonstrate that they have implemented good agricultural practices that meet the Global GAP standards.
The Global GAP certification is important for farmers because it demonstrates their commitment to producing safe and sustainable agricultural products that meet the expectations of consumers and retailers around the world. For retailers and consumers, the Global GAP certification provides assurance that the products they are buying have been produced using responsible and sustainable farming practices.
The certification is usually valid for one year, after which the farm must undergo a new assessment to maintain the certification. The Global GAP standards are continuously reviewed and updated to ensure that they remain relevant and effective in promoting sustainable and safe food production.
