GLOBALG.A.P. and SAI Platform have partnered up to offer an innovative approach that benefits from the expertise and long experience of both organizations. Together, developed the joint solution GLOBALG.A.P. Farm Sustainability Assessment (GGFSA).

This new product builds on the GLOBALG.A.P. standards for crops and combines all sustainability requirements of the FSA in one compact and assessable standard. In this way, producers with GLOBALG.A.P. certification will be able to demonstrate compliance with the FSA requirements while avoiding duplication. This joint solution enables a transparent and more efficient sourcing of safe and sustainable products for traders, retailers, and manufacturers.

What is the GLOBALG.A.P. Farm Sustainability Assessment (GGFSA) add-on

The GLOBALG.A.P. Farm Sustainability Assessment (GGFSA) add-on enables a producer or producer group that is already using the GLOBALG.A.P. certification system to make an FSA claim in the most efficient way possible. It includes a tailored set of FSA-inspired questions that can be implemented alongside the GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) or Crops for Processing (CfP) standard for all crops to produce a verified FSA performance level claim. It bridges the gap between the GLOBALG.A.P. and FSA standards, allowing producers to make FSA claims up to FSA gold level with only one audit.

Whom it may concern

The GGFSA add-on has been designed for any legal entity that has already obtained GLOBALG.A.P. certification (for crops) and wants to make an FSA claim in the most streamlined way possible.

What are the benefits for companies and farms?

The GGFSA add-on saves time and money for both farms and companies, allowing them to focus on sustainably developing their business. Having the verification take place at the same time as the regular audit for crops according to the GLOBALG.A.P. IFA or CfP standard, it reduces the assessment workload of the certification body significantly. Producers won’t have to do audits according to the GLOBALG.A.P. IFA or CfP standard and then an additional round of FSA verification in order to make FSA claims as well. Given that the content of the questions is fully tailored to the GLOBALG.A.P. IFA and CfP standards’ scope Crops, there is no redundancy or overlap, making self-assessment as efficient as possible.
