8th December 2008 by Alex Briggs
This Food and Drink Europe article talks about the new set of criteria and standards for sustainable fruit and veg production that BASF Corporation is developing for German supermarket chain Rewe. Named Crop Protection, the new standards aim to give sustainability assurances throughout the food chain, right through to consumers.
Under the Best Alliance brand name, the new BASF programme is dependent on showing continuous improvement in three fields: Optimised use of crop protection ingredients; adherence to defined environmental standards; and adherence to defined social standards.
