Smart farm assurance solutions
What we offer

Smart farm assurance solutions

GLOBALG.A.P. standards are applicable to agriculture, aquaculture, floriculture, compound feed manufacturing, and the supply chain, with the option to extend certification coverage via tailored add-ons. Linked to delivery services that support their consistent implementation, we offer a complete solution for global supply chains.

Entry-level solutions

Primary solutions

Providing a basic level of assurance, our primary solutions offer a gateway to the GLOBALG.A.P. certification system. As stand-alone standards, they are not combined with any other GLOBALG.A.P. standards or add-ons and are not a full form of certification valid for global trade. However, they may fulfill local requirements for producers in emerging markets and/or facilitate the first steps towards accredited certification, if desired.

Global standards for safer and more sustainable farming

Core solutions

GLOBALG.A.P. core solutions include internationally recognized standards for primary production and the supply chain. These standards usually result in a certificate that is widely recognized in global markets and frequently requested by buyers as a trading requirement. These standards can be flexibly combined with add-ons to target to specific topics in more detail.

Audited or assessed in combination with a standard from the GLOBALG.A.P. core solutions category, our add-ons expand the certification scope to offer tailored or more comprehensive assurance on a specific topic. This provides a wide range of possible standard and add-on combinations that reduce audit duplication, upgrade a producer’s status, and offer buyers specific assurance based on their interests and preferences.

Other party private solutions

Developed and operated in partnership with industry stakeholders, customized add-ons to GLOBALG.A.P. standards utilize our certification system to reduce audit duplication and fulfill specific buyer requirements. They are not part of the GLOBALG.A.P. brand and therefore do not undergo the usual standard-setting procedure.
