The ProTerra Standard
Created in 2006, the ProTerra Standard has a long-standing history and experience in promoting sustainability in the food and feed supply chain and segregated non-GMO materials.
The ProTerra Standard empathizes the following key issues:
- Human rights and good labour practices such as workplace safety, equal opportunities, and particular attention to preventing child and forced labour;
- Good agricultural practices, regarding soil fertility, water management and continuous efforts to reduce the use of fertilisers and pesticides;
- Deforestation, Biodiversity, High Conservation Values, and special focus on rigorous Non-GMO requirements.
