Good Agricultural Practices ("Good Agricultural Practices") are criteria for agricultural production that ensure the safety and safety of food and its producers on a sustainable basis for agricultural practices.

- Sustainable management of the environment
The Farm Good Agricultural Practices System can be measured, examples of good practices can be presented according to the latest global standards, and compatibility with these standards can lead to the Farm's certification of Global Good Agricultural Practices.
What is Global Gap?
Global Gap is an inter-enterprise standard that assures the safety and sustainability of food production.
Global Gap is also a link between farmers and brands in the production and marketing of safe food to reassure consumers as the Global Gap Standard sets out very stringent requirements for good agricultural practices that farmers should adhere to if they are willing to sell their products to major retailers around the world. Retailers rely on the Global Gap certification to ensure that the products they sell to consumers can be traced back to the farm or institution they produced and are accredited with.
Consumers demand healthy, safe agricultural products, value human well-being and respect the environment, and this prompts them to deal with farmers who adhere to the same principles and buy their needs from them.
Good reputation: Farmers gain customer trust and dependence, enabling them to build a good reputation that ensures they maintain a good place in the market.
Areas requiring Global Gap certification
The majority of market retailers currently require certain standards that ensure safe and sustainable farming. GLOBAL GAP's accreditation is highly appreciated as it demonstrates the safety and sustainability of food on farms. By complying with GLOBALG.A.P. standards, producers can sell their products locally and globally. Thus GLOBALG.A.P. accreditation grants producers an entry ticket to the global market. The GLOBALG.A.P. main standard, called "Integrated Farm Guarantee", is available for three sectors of production: crops (edible plus flowers and ornamental plants), livestock and aquaculture.
