India Good Agricultural Practices (IndiaGAP) is a voluntary certification standard developed to promote safe and sustainable agricultural practices across the Indian farming sector. It is aligned with international Good Agricultural Practices frameworks while being adapted to Indian agro-climatic conditions, farming systems, and regulatory requirements. The primary objective of IndiaGAP is to ensure food safety, environmental sustainability, worker health and welfare, and traceability in agricultural production. It serves as a benchmark for farmers to produce high-quality agricultural commodities that meet both domestic and export market requirements. The scheme is particularly significant in strengthening farm-to-fork food safety systems by addressing risks at the primary production stage, which is often considered the first critical link in the food supply chain. IndiaGAP certification covers multiple aspects of agricultural operations including soil management, water quality, crop protection practices, fertilizer usage, harvesting procedures, post-harvest handling, storage, packaging, and transportation. It emphasizes the judicious use of agrochemicals to minimize pesticide residues and prevent contamination of food products. Farmers are encouraged to adopt integrated pest management (IPM), integrated nutrient management (INM), and sustainable irrigation practices to reduce environmental impact and improve productivity. The certification also includes provisions related to worker safety such as safe handling of chemicals, provision of protective equipment, sanitation facilities, and training programs for farm workers. This holistic approach ensures that food safety is not treated in isolation but integrated with environmental and
