Securing FSA Silver Level Equivalence against SAI Platform’s Farm Sustainability Assessment
Driving sustainability forward: In a recent benchmark, against the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) Platform’s Farm Sustainability Assessment 3.0 (FSA), MartinBauer achieves Silver Level Equivalence for mabagrown.
The SAI Platform’s recognition is another great testament for MartinBauer as it reflects the company’s mission to act responsibly and considerately toward nature and environment. Covering questions on social, environmental and economic topics such as soil management, biodiversity and labour conditions, the silver level equivalent result is validated for all mabagrown sourcing types: cultivation, small holder and wild collection.
As the SAI platform and the Union of Ethical Biotrade (UEBT) have joined forces to accelerate not only sustainable farming practices but also the responsible sourcing of wild harvested crops since October 2024, this also marks a groundbreaking milestone as MartinBauer is the very first company to receive a benchmark result for wild collection as well.
