Purpose of Good Agricultural Practice

Purpose of Good Agricultural Practice

Good Agricultural Practice aims to deliver agricultural operations that do not harm environmental, animal, or human health, to secure natural resources, to maintain traceability and sustainability in agricultural land, and to build in food safety.

The scheme integrates integrated crop production and integrated pest management to bring agricultural products to market commercially.

Good Agricultural Practice also aims to minimise the use of agrochemicals through a defined programme, to reduce activities that damage the environment and the soil, to raise product quality, and to support the sustainability of agricultural operations.

In short, Good Agricultural Practice coordinates agricultural operations in Turkey, supports them through record keeping, develops them progressively, enables their market activity, and delivers safe products to consumers under the food safety chain. The aim is consumer access to healthy products, protection of natural resources, and food safety throughout the cultivation process.
