EUREP, 'Euro Retailer Produce Working Group', is a platform of leading
retailers in Europe active in the retail business of the agricultural
food industry. ''GAP'' stands for 'Good Agricultural Practice', a
minimum production standard for a good agricultural practice of
agricultural products.
Since 2008 the official name EUREPGAP is changed into GLOBALGAP. The
new standard GLOBALGAP IFA is a global accepted food safety standard
for retailers. Globalgap uses GAP as a production standard for the
certification of good agricultural practice in the and includes
certification for agricultural, animal and aquaculture production.
Globalgap is based on the principles of risk prevention, risk analysis
and HACCP, sustainable agriculture by means of Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) and Integrated Crop Management (ICM), using existing
technologies for the continuous improvement of farming systems.
Technically speaking, Globalgap is a set of normative documents
suitable to be accredited to internationally recognised certification
criteria such as ISO Guide 65. Representatives from around the globe
and all stages of the food chain have been involved in the development
of these documents. In addition the views from stakeholders outside
the Industry including consumer and environmental organisations and
governments have helped shape the protocols. This wide consultation
has produced a robust and challenging but nonetheless achievable
protocol which farmers around the world can use to demonstrate
compliance with Good Agricultural Practices. The standards are openly
available and free to obtain from the Globalgap website.
Globalgap members include retailers, producers/farmers and associate
members from the input and service side of agriculture. The work of
the Committees is supported by Food PLUS, a not-for-profit limited
company based in Cologne, Germany.
