Good Agricultural Practice is not just about products; it’s also about people.
That’s why our members developed GRASP, a GLOBALG.A.P.+ Add-on product.
GRASP stands for
GLOBALG.A.P. Risk Assessment on Social Practice, and is a
voluntary ready-to-use module developed to assess social practices on the farm,
addressing specific aspects of workers’ health, safety and welfare.
Designed to
complement GLOBALG.A.P. Certification towards social aspects, GRASP measures can
be assessed together with the GLOBALG.A.P. audit. A GLOBALG.A.P. Certification Body (CB)
approved for GRASP conducts the GRASP assessment of your production facilities. The assessment
results are then uploaded to the GLOBALG.A.P. Database, showing your level of compliance, and are
then visible to industry supply chain partners and buyers who have been granted access - see list
of GRASP Observers
here.
The GRASP assessment is valid for one year and assessments are conducted annually.
GRASP helps producers establish
a good social management system on their farms. It offers buyers added assurance.
And it helps protect one of the farm’s most important resources: its people.
