GLOBALG.A.P. actively embraces the International Day for Biological Diversity 2025 as a call to action. As a leading organization for smart farm assurance solutions, the organization continues to expand the integration of biodiversity into its work and supports stakeholders in reaching and sharing their achievements. \u201cWith the Environmental Sustainability Working Group, we are developing \u2013 in collaboration with a broad alliance of partners in a multi-stakeholder initiative \u2013 a sustainability solution that is currently being piloted in real-world settings,\u201d explains Dr. Ren\u00e9 Capote, Senior Technical Expert at GLOBALG.A.P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the ground, Antonio Caballero Morote from Hortofrut\u00edcola Topi S.A.,<\/strong> a local fruit producer in south-eastern Spain, is actively involved in piloting the new sustainability approach on their farm in Murcia. The Spanish stone fruit and grape producer\u2019s participation highlights the vital role that producers play in implementing biodiversity measures. The experience of Hortofrut\u00edcola Topi S.A. also provides valuable insights into the potential benefits and challenges of integrating these practices into daily production operations, as they are currently being tested. \u201cWe are excited to be part of this interesting stakeholder collaboration. We also expect to create innovative and feasible biodiversity measures to further increase sustainability on our farms and also to make these measures visible to our clients,\u201d says Antonio Caballero Morote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another key partner in this pilot project is EDEKA Germany<\/strong>, which provides a perspective from the retail sector and insights on how the sector can influence responsible supply chains. By supporting pilot projects in Spain and Italy, EDEKA demonstrates how retailers can play a pivotal role in promoting biodiversity-friendly practices and raising consumer awareness on environmental sustainability and biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This pilot project demonstrates how the private sector, together with producers and retailers, can lead transformative change by communicating biodiversity science, advocating for the accelerated implementation of the SDGs and the KMGBF, and initiating the required transformations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
