Capacity-building activities

We know that safe, socially and environmentally responsible farming practices are possible when producers have the tools they need to succeed – including access to training and support. By investing in capacity-building activities that raise awareness of more sustainable practices and facilitate their implementation on the ground, we can increase the pace of change worldwide.

How does GLOBALG.A.P. address capacity building?

Our standard-setting competencies are complemented by a range of capacity-building activities that amplify and advance safer and more sustainable farming practices in a local context.

With online GLOBALG.A.P. Academy training courses, targeted on-site events hosted in tandem with regional partners, and partnerships with developmental aid organizations around the world, we can reach a wide range of producers, buyers, and trainers who are open to enhancing food and nutritional security, stimulating economic growth in their area, and reducing poverty in a sustainable manner.
