Integrated Farm Assurance

What is it?

The Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) standard is Global G.A.P.'s flagship certification — a globally recognised benchmark for safe, sustainable, and socially responsible farming practices. It covers the entire production process, from inputs to post-harvest handling, and is designed to assure buyers that their food is produced responsibly.

IFA is relevant for farms of all sizes and scopes, and is often required by major retailers, export markets, and food manufacturers. It addresses not just food safety, but also environmental sustainability, traceability, and worker welfare.

IFA’s value lies in turning complex compliance into structured, manageable processes — helping producers gain market access, reduce risk, and operate transparently.
