What is GAP Accreditation?

Good Agricultural Practices  (GAP) as defined by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, are a “collection of principles to apply for on-farm production and postproduction processes, resulting in safe and healthy food and non-food agricultural products, while taking into account economic, social and environmental sustainability.”

The Department of Agriculture, Philippines accredits farmers who complies with the guidelines of the FAO.

Online Farmer distributes the products of the GAP accredited farmers and is also working on its own farms to be accredited.
