Our holistic solutions and broader activities support the six key impact areas of food safety, environmental sustainability, workers’ well-being, animal welfare, supply chain transparency, and capacity building.

Who we work with
Fostering the global adoption of safer and more sustainable farming practices is a collective effort, which is why the GLOBALG.A.P. Secretariat works with a global network of stakeholder parties. Through working groups, our 430-strong GLOBALG.A.P. Membership Community from all sides of the value chain, or capacity-building partners and industry experts, we strive to connect with as many contributors as possible.Â
Working with GLOBALG.A.P standards since 1997, I have seen the change they’ve brought – not only from the food safety perspective that is so important to consumers, but also as a practical tool that helps improve social and environmental sustainability in the lives of smallholders all over the world.
