Environmental metrics for GLOBALG.A.P.: How North American fruit and vegetable producers can use SISC metrics

Join GLOBALG.A.P. North America and GLOBALG.A.P. community member the Stewardship Index for Specialty Crops (SISC) to learn how SISC’s free metrics calculator helps producers track and improve sustainability performance in areas like water, energy, soil health, GHGs, biodiversity, and food waste. We’ll also show how aggregators like packers and processors can use SISC for data aggregation, and how agricultural technology providers can integrate SISC metrics into their platforms. 

Discover how these tools align with the new GLOBALG.A.P. IFA v6 requirements, making it easier to prepare for audits, meet retailer expectations, and strengthen your operation’s efficiency.
