LETIS certifies the new GLOBALG.A.P. ADD-ON “SPRING”

The SPRING quality seal (Sustainable Program for Irrigation and Groundwater use) is intended to demonstrate the commitment to the sustainable management of the water resource.

Do you use water responsibly for your crops? 💧🌱
Did you know that more than 70% of the world’s fresh water is used for agriculture?

As pressure on this limited resource grows, agricultural supply chains will depend on a sustainable approach to water management. As a result, food system stakeholders are now expected to provide evidence documenting their efforts to manage water risks and promote sustainable practices.

SPRING incorporates a wide range of criteria to assess sustainable water management on the farm.

  • Legal conformity of water sources and extraction rates
  • Monitoring of water consumption
  • Impact of producers on sustainable watershed management
  • Best practices in water management
  • Protection of water sources
  • Measures to demonstrate continuous improvement of water management
