GRASP – GLOBALG.A.P. Risk Assessment on Practice

The GLOBALG.A.P Risk Assessment on Social Practice (GRASP) is mainly based on document checks and is to assess social risks in primary production. GRASP supports producers to address important social issues and build awareness at farm level.

    More information about GRASP

    GRASP can be assessed in combination with the GLOBALG.A.P. primary production standards or equivalent benchmarked schemes/AMC. Furthermore, GRASP can be assessed in any country – even where GLOBALG.A.P. approved GRASP National Interpretation Guideline does not exist. In case a country does not have a GRASP interpretation Guideline, the applicants need to hand in a project plan for the development of such an interpretation guideline to the GLOBALG.A.P. Secretariat. This program is not accredited.
