How are global agricultural standards applied at a local level? For global standards to succeed, they must account for local laws, practices, and conditions in the country where they are applied. GLOBALG.A.P. achieves this balance through its national interpretation guidelines (NIGs), which tailor global standards to the specific legal and structural contexts of each country. By clarifying how universal requirements align with national regulations, NIGs make it easier for producers to implement GLOBALG.A.P. standards effectively and for auditors to assess compliance accurately. Explore the role of national technical working groups, the NIG development process, and other key insights on the topic in our latest news article ➡️ https://okt.to/HpeM3C #GLOBALGAP #Standards #ResponsibleFarming

Every day, millions of people around the world endure hunger—a challenge that impacts not only individuals but also the strength and resilience of entire communities. As part of our commitment to creating a more responsible and inclusive global future, we have contributed to the World Food Programme's initiative to fight hunger. This decision stems from our belief that no one should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from—a belief that unites everyone in our organization. Supporting this cause aligns with our mission to empower those at the heart of the global food system, and we are humbled to play a small role in this life-changing work. Recently, our colleague Britta Muellender attended UNIDO’s World Without Hunger conference in Addis Ababa, where the message was clear: A world without hunger is possible, but it will require collective action and collaboration across all sectors. This only strengthens our resolve to continue contributing to this vital mission. We encourage others to consider supporting this initiative through direct donations or by raising awareness of the vital work being done. Together, our collective action can make a real impact! If you'd like to learn more or contribute to this worthy cause, visit the World Food Programme's donation page ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e5p7XrKF Let’s keep striving toward a world where no one ever goes hungry. #GLOBALGAP #WorldWithoutHunger #UNIDO #ResponsibleFarming #FoodSecurity
