In October 9th GLOBALGAP summit in Cologne

Good Agricultural Practices are becoming more and more widely adopted with consumer demand for healthy safe and sustainably produced food driving their expansion. An ever increasing number of producers in more than 80 Countries are choosing GLOBALGAP certification to fulfil this demand.
The GLOBALGAP standard is primarily designed to reassure consumers about how food is produced on the farm by minimising detrimental environmental impacts of farming operations, reducing the use of chemical inputs and ensuring a responsible approach to worker health and safety as well as animal welfare.
GLOBALGAP serves as a practical manual for Good Agricultural Practice (G.A.P.) anywhere in the world. The basis is an equal partnership of agricultural producers and retailers who wish to establish efficient certification standards and procedures.
The annual GLOBALGAP conference offers the opportunity to share in the latest developments in Good Agricultural Practices from the leading experts and practicioners joining the conference from around the world.
As well as hearing about how GLOBALGAP is supporting these trends, participants can provide feedback on hot topics, learn about new product scopes and take part in sessions designed to share best practice
