Synopsis:
There is increasing scrutiny of the safety, environmental and social impact of food production by both consumers and governments. However, ensuring safe, sustainable and socially responsible agricultural production is crucially reliant on farmers and others complying with an increasingly complex range of standards and certification schemes. Improving standards and certification in agri-food supply chains: Ensuring safety, sustainability and social responsibility provides an authoritative overview of the range of standards used to maintain and improve quality, environmental and ethical standards in agri-food supply chains. The book considers the role of good agricultural practices (GAPs), as well as key organisations, such as the Sustainable Agriculture Network, LEAF and the Rainforest Alliance, in ensuring high standards. In its extensive review of agri-food supply chains, the book showcases how crucial complying with standards and schemes is to ensuring safe, sustainable and socially responsible agricultural production.
