agricultural standards

Agricultural standards are guidelines and rules set to ensure crops and livestock meet quality, safety, and environmental requirements. They help farmers produce food that is safe to eat, sustainable for the environment, and consistent in quality. These standards cover areas like pesticide use, certifications for organic products, animal welfare, and proper handling during processing. By following these standards, farmers and companies help protect consumers, promote fair trade, and support ecological health, creating trust and reliability in the food supply chain.
