GLOBALG.A.P. is an international standard for good agricultural practices managed by FoodPLUS GmbH. It certifies primary production in fruits and vegetables (IFA), aquaculture, livestock, and flowers and ornamentals. Required by most European retailers and many global ones for fresh produce. Its GRASP module adds social labor practices evaluation, and SPRING evaluates sustainable water use.
