Over the last two years GlobalG.A.P. have been reviewing the Integrated Farm Assurance standard. They have now released technical information on Integrated Farm Assurance v6.
IFA V6 will be released in two editions: IFA v6 Smart (for those who do not need GFSI recognition) and IFA v6 GFS.
The IFA v6 final (interim) will be launched in April 2022 for fruit and vegetables (FV), flowers and ornamentals (FO), hops (HOP), and aquaculture (AQ) and will become obligatory one year later in April 2023.
In September 2022, the IFA v6 final will be launched. Combinable crops (CC), plant propagation material (PPM), tea (TE), and livestock standard will be published later.
More information on the requirements and training can be found on the Global.G.A.P. website.
