Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) refer to approaches which address the sustainability of on-farm processes to ensure safety and quality of food and non-food agricultural products. These approaches aim to capture new market advantages by (1) modifying supply chain governance; (2) improving natural resource use, workers’ health, and working conditions; and (3) creating new market opportunities for farmers and exporters in developing countries.
