Description

Description The Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) is a coalition of non-profit conservation organizations in America, Africa, Europe and Asia promoting the environmental and social sustainability of agricultural activities through the development of standards for best practices, certification and training for rural farmers around the world. Our vision of the world is one where agricultural activity contributes to biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods.
Objectives Our mission is to be a global network transforming agriculture into a sustainable activity.

These are the SANs strategic goals: -Effectiveness: Develop programs and systems that are effective in maximizing the sustainability of agriculture. -Transformation: Build a critical mass to promote and support sustainable agricultural practices. -Global reach: Combine worldwide representation and local influence to ensure that priority areas benefit from SAN. -Institutional resilience: Strengthen and develop SAN in order to provide consistent and high quality delivery of programs.

Activities To accomplish this, we help farmers to implement best practices and we develop standards for best agricultural and cattle production practices that we coordinate in a certification system.

We implement this certification system jointly with local partners in different countries and with the Rainforest Alliance global organization. Products grown on farms that comply with our standards use the Rainforest Alliance CertifiedTM seal. In September 2016, the SAN launched the 2017 Sustainable Agriculture SAN Standard. This standard is the basis of our Assurance Solutions services and of the Rainforest Alliance certification system, which is used in more than 100 crops and 50 countries.
