Analytical Report SAFA

Introduction / Background 

Working with different partners with

established expertise, and facilitating a dialogue between those who have the
knowledge and those who need it. By turning knowledge into action, FAO links the
field to national, regional and global initiatives in a mutually reinforcing cycle. By
joining forces, we facilitate partnerships for food and nutrition security.

A SAFA is an assessment of the sustainability performance of one or several entities

forming part of a value chain rooted in agriculture, forestry, fisheries or aquaculture.
It can address all entities from the site of primary production to that of final sales to
the consumer.

Facts / Findings 

BRC Global Standards is a leading safety and quality certification program, used by over 25,000
certificated suppliers in over 130 countries, with certification issued through a worldwide network of
accredited Certification Bodies.1700 auditors. 65 publications.

 
Recommendations  

In this case, the recommendation is that each certification approved by the accreditation
bodies listed in the previous section to improve certification in this audit process and have
greater control since when we talk about label it is already somewhat stricter since we must
have the technical data sheet of the product and the labeling and additionally have health
records by country of the product where it is manufactured and finally where it is sold to
avoid claims.
What is the advantage of belonging to safa? It will have a follow-up and report of audits
which are very useful for your company since it is accompanied from the main part of the
product to its final advisor and it is very easy to belong to
SAFA since it is an evaluation of the sustainability performance of one or more entities that
are part of a value chain rooted in agriculture, forestry or fishing. It can lead all entities and
we must also comply with the following Full Members, associate member and The member
of the accreditation body, among other standards, must comply to belong to this large group.

Environment  

This indicator refers to all the practices that aim to improve the physical, chemical and
biological properties of the soils used by a company. Depending on the soil conditions and
the local and natural climatic, terrain and geological characteristics
 

 
 
This indicator refers to the protection, in-situ conservation and rehabilitation of the genetic
diversity of domesticated plant and animal.
Ecosystem Enhancing Practices: Dark Green (best practices): Land-cover and land use change
to more structurally complex and species-diverse systems, such as agroforestry. 

Social 
 

 
adequate rest from work, overtime that is voluntary, and educational opportunity for themselves
and their immediate families. In addition, quality of life means that they have the time to produce
or procure and prepare healthy meals for themselves and their families that include fresh
produce and a culturally appropriate

in this indicator will be evidenced through personalized engagement activities for the type of
stakeholder, resulting in a comprehensive and mutually satisfactory engagement that is
maintained over time.

capacity of soils that are important aspects for their health and productivity. It has a strong
influence on the volatilization of gaseous compounds in the soil (including GHG emissions such
as nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide), water balance (also at regional level), soil packing and root
penetration, absorption of nutrients from the soil by plants and good soil aeration.
The physical soil properties, such as the soil texture, porosity and structure, reveal the grade of
nutrient and water holding capacity of the soils which are important aspects for its health and
productivity​.

Quality

Introduction / Background

BRC Global Standard for Food Safety was

implemented since 1996, used to evaluate manufacturers of retailers own brand food
products. ​BRCGS' Standards guarantee the standardisation of quality, safety and
operational criteria and ensure that manufacturers fulfil their legal obligations and provide
protection for the end consumer. Certification to BRCGS' Standards is now often a
fundamental requirement of leading retailers, manufacturers and food service organisations.

Facts / Findings

Sustainable development has numerous definitions and its ecological, economic and social
principles received universal agreement at the 1992 Earth Summit. One of the summit’s major
outcomes, Agenda 21, includes a whole chapter (Chapter 14) on sustainable agriculture and
rural development. Today, 106 countries have National Sustainable Development Strategies and
at least 120 voluntary sustainability standards are being implemented by the food and agriculture
industry. However, developing and implementing an integrated approach to analysing different
sustainability dimensions as a coherent whole and integrating them in development or business
strategies remains a major challenge.
With a view to offer a fair playing field, FAO built on existing efforts and developed a universal
framework for Sustainability Assessment of Food and Agriculture systems (SAFA). After 5 years
of participatory development, SAFA has been presented to FAO member countries on 18
October 2013.

 
 

Recommendations 
The standard works with 4 (four) items which are Audits, Claims and labeling,

Support and Standard.

In the Audits we find in the conformity evaluation 2 (two) positive items which are

that the auditing practices are adapted to the size of the operator and any

certification body approved by the accreditation bodies.

Regarding Labeling Relationships, you will find the description of the product labeling

policies that request the use of the BRC Global Standards logo.

Regarding support, we find accessibility, benefits and premium costs and fees.

And finally in the standard we find the list of compliance with international standards
 
 
 

Summary

Environment 

 
 
This requirement must be implemented and met immediately, otherwise they will not be
certified or verified. BRC for the environment is divided into 4 themes, which are inputs with
11%, waste 4%, water 5% and energy 1%.
Social

 
We can see that the requirements for Social are Human Rights and local communities where
the standard refers to Practices that promote healthy / high nutritional value foods, Labor
Practices - Conditions Of Work And Social Protection equivalent to 6%, which includes
Training on safety issues, Safety equipments and personal protective equipment, Machinery
/ equipment safety, among others; Labor Practices - Employment And Employment
Relationships which talks about an Existence of publicly available policy defining workers
'rightsprovided and finally Labor Practices - Human Development And Social Dialogue, in
which they talk about Workers' access to training programs

Management

 
The requirements must be implemented immediately in order to be certified, for
management, there is Economic Viability where the standard states that the company's
senior management shall provide the human and fi nancial resources required to produce
food safely and in compliance with the requirements of this Standard. . Another item is
Sustainability Management where it is stated that the site shall establish and maintain
environmental and operational programs necessary to create an environment suitable to
produce safe and legal food products and lastly Supply Chain Responsibilities

*What are the standards requirements 

As we can see, the SAFA standard is much better since it meets all the requirements,
because when you have exporting coffee is more complete for you.
