CAPACITY BUILDING & G.A.P.

Growing G.A.P. Culture from the Inside Out

sponsored by Syngenta Foundation/ Farmforce

 

A G.A.P. culture emerges from practices instilled through accurate knowledge and acute awareness performed on such a wide scale and over a long period that they become native and intuitive for the community. Steady reflection and improvement contribute to applying G.A.P. by intuition, which subsequently leads to a sustainable culture of good agricultural practices that is passed on from generation to generation.

 

In this session our stakeholders will introduce their experiences and challenges in establishing G.A.P. culture as well as present the tools and practical approaches that can be used to sustainably motivate people to change their behavior and apply good practices.

 

After an introduction of G.A.P. culture, the session discussion will explore exciting approaches ranging from education of youth leading to solving certified farmers’ daily challenges.

 

Join us for an animated and inspiring session that examines the critical issues in your daily work and how to improve them sustainably. Gain insights into G.A.P. culture and connect with GLOBALG.A.P. stakeholders that are experienced and active in this field.

RISKS IN LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION

Mitigation through Certification and Data Collection

 

Speakers will address the major risks of using antibiotics in livestock and how the market is responding. Can farm certification help to mitigate such a risk? Learn how new data collection through farm management systems can be used as an indicator for risk on farms and as input for more efficient processes in the future of livestock production.

CROPS FOR PROCESSING

The Standard for the Future

 

The Crops for Processing (CfP) Standard covers the growing of plants and crops used for further processing, such as cooking, freezing, and juicing as well as for feed.

 

In the first version, the standard is aligned with the GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance Standard, with the two key differences being the risk-based approach to food safety and the auditing rules. How does this affect a producer that supplies produce for both the fresh market as well as for processing? How will the auditing rules work?

 

Future developments of the standard will include working with SAI Platform and incorporation of the Farm Sustainability Assessment elements as well as the use of metrics for auditing purposes.
