Sustainable Agriculture

 

The focus on sustainability in agriculture has never been stronger. Around the world, policy makers, retailers, growers, food companies and consumers now recognize the vital importance of farming practices that conserve natural resources, prevent environmental degradation, and protect the rights and health of workers, and communities.

SCS has championed sustainable agriculture for nearly three decades with cutting-edge crop production and quality standards, trusted third-party certification, and customized sustainable sourcing solutions. Depending on your needs, our experienced team can help you navigate through the issues and identify opportunities associated with sustainable agriculture.

In effort to build a broader consensus around sustainability in the agricultural sector, SCS is a participant of a multi-stakeholder consensus process to establish an American National Standard for Sustainable Agriculture under the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
