The Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) has published new standards that will be binding for audits after July 1, 2017. This allows certification bodies and farmers in the 42 countries where the SAN/Rainforest Alliance certification system operates time for training and transition to the changes of the standard.
The revised standard recognizes that the path to true sustainability is a multifaceted process that requires time; it is not a destination reached in one leap. It is designed to enable more producers to embark and then continually progress on their journey toward sustainable farming.
