Just imagine the scale when 80 big global buyers start to implement this & the potential volume of sustainably grown agricultural products globally ……
What are the benefits of FSA?
Used globally in 24 countries, available in 18 languages

• Improve performance•Save time & resource•Reduce costs• Improve market access•A global language•Multi-crop
FSA: Benefits for farmers
21
Can the Market do this alone?
• Like no single big company could do it alone...• The joint precompetitive action by SAI Platform can’t do it
• FSA is a ‘market vehicle’ with a huge potential for more sustainable, safe and inclusive agriculture, that affects farmers beyond the direct value chains....• ....but is needs leverage for implementation from all
stakeholders involved: Extension service, impact-assessors, management of change sociologistists, coordination, common language, prioritization of issues, and passion for farming.
