The Advisory Board is made up of an equal number of elected producer and retailer representatives. A chairperson and vice-chairperson is elected at the first meeting after each election period.
Working very closely with the operational GLOBALG.A.P. Secretariat in Cologne, the Advisory Board's tasks involve providing input to key activities of the FoodPLUS GmbH executive management, such as, but not limited to, the strategy, the annual activity plan, and significant changes that might affect the GLOBALG.A.P. brand and standards.
Advisory Board members are elected for a four-year term, with
elections held every two years for half of the seats.
