Taking place every two years, the conference is the perfect setting to discuss the latest developments in food safety and sustainability as well as Good Agriculture and Aquaculture Practices and the future of the industry. Creating new markets for responsibly grown food is vital to building a sustainable future in agriculture, that it why they are making it the key focus of the GLOBAL G.A.P. SUMMIT 2018. They are expected to gather the entire GLOBALG.A.P. member community to look back at their joint achievements, explore the future of their vision and mission of farm assurance certification, and take part in a large-scale stakeholder campaign to communicate both their and their members’ major achievements along this journey.

• Retailers
• Buyers/Suppliers
