Targeting sustainability through impact-driven farming.
What is the Impact-Driven Approach to Sustainability?
The Impact-Driven Approach to Sustainability (IDA) is a system to help flower and ornamentals
farms to collect, process, and store their environmental sustainability data. It is in line with
Floriculture Sustainability Initiative requirements regarding digital registration for
environmental metrics.
How does it work…
GLOBALG.A.P. offers different pathways to the Impact-Driven Approach to Sustainability. They are to be used in combination with a farm management system:
• The IDA module: may be used without further farm assurance (pathway 1). It may be used as a stepping stone to progress to pathway 2 or 3.
• The IDA add-on: may be used with localg.a.p. Primary Farm Assurance standard v5 (pathway 2) or with the GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) standard for Flowers and Ornamentals v5.2 (or benchmarked equivalent) (pathway 3).
All data that the FMS shares with GLOBALG.A.P. is treated confidentially and shared only back to individual producers in agglomerated and anonymized form.
