Does SAI Platforms approach not represent the risk of creating distortions of competition between farming systems at different levels?
The uniqueness of SAI Platform’s approach is that it encourages the development of sustainable agricultural practices through a continuous improvement approach. It does not establish any level of minimum requirement that would be compulsory for farmers to comply with (apart from international and national laws and regulations). What matters is continuous progress over time on economic, social and environmental issues. In this way no distortion of competition is created, but an incentive to progress towards sustainable agriculture is encouraged.
