GLOBALG.A.P. TOUR stops are collaborative events for the promotion of safer and more responsible farming practices around the world. Find out where we’ll be in 2025!
We are excited to announce the following TOUR stops for 2025:
Costa Rica, 31 July – 1 August, San Carlos
Stay tuned: Two further TOUR stops are also to follow later this year!
Each year, we organize TOUR stops to engage with regional markets and strengthen our commitment to building local capacity. Since 2009, these events have taken place in over 45 countries across six continents, promoting safer, more socially and environmentally responsible farming practices.
Designed in collaboration with supply chain partners and customized to the needs of specific countries or regions, these one- or two-day events provide both on-site and hybrid participation options. This inclusive approach allows a diverse audience to explore key topics and challenges alongside GLOBALG.A.P. technical experts.
Events are developed in collaboration with local, national, or regional hosts, often as part of larger capacity-building initiatives, and are guided by the shared goals of GLOBALG.A.P. and the partnering organization. While there is no fixed format for TOUR stops, the events are intentionally designed to be interactive and engaging. We encourage innovative and creative approaches to foster collaboration. A variety of activities can be integrated into a single event, creating a dynamic space for effective knowledge exchange:
A conference with roundtable or panel discussions on key issues featuring experts from the private and public sectors in the region
A consultation meeting to raise awareness, hold Q&A sessions, and address challenges related to standard implementation and certification
A focus day to strengthen networks and provide incentives for producers to upgrade their responsible farming practices
A workshop supporting capacity-building training on a specific topic or GLOBALG.A.P. farm assurance solution
A farm visit to increase understanding of GLOBALG.A.P. farm assurance solutions and how they benefit producers in the field
Presentations and keynote speakers can include technical experts and GLOBALG.A.P. Advisory Board members, as well as industry leaders and government representatives from the respective country or region.
