Farm Requirements support sustainable, climate-resilient farming.
The 2020 Sustainable Agriculture Standard: Farm Requirements costs $1,500 USD, takes approximately 26 weeks, and requires around 400 hours of study. Over 1,000,000+ organizations have earned this certification worldwide. Renewal costs $1,000 USD every 12 months.
This certification is best suited for smallholder farmers, farm cooperatives, and large agricultural operations seeking to access premium markets that require verified sustainability credentials. It is particularly valuable for producers of commodities like coffee, cocoa, tea, bananas, and palm oil who want to demonstrate environmental and social responsibility to global buyers and retailers.
