International Organization for Standardization (ISO), launched a campaign on agriculture.

Why do we need ISO standards for agriculture?

ISO standards for agriculture cover all aspects of farming, from irrigation and global positioning systems (GPS) to agricultural machinery, animal welfare and sustainable farm management. They help to promote effective farming methods while ensuring that everything in the supply chain – from farm to fork – meets adequate levels of safety and quality. By setting internationally agreed solutions to global challenges, ISO standards for agriculture also foster the sustainability and sound environmental management that contribute to a better future.

Why do we need ISO standards for food ?

The world population is growing rapidly and many food products repeatedly cross national boundaries to meet our rising demand for food. International Standards help to address this challenge in a safe and sustainable way, through guidance and best practice in food production methods and testing, to promote safety, quality and efficiency across the entire food industry.

The Institute for Standardization of Bosnia and Herzegovina prepared ISO brochures about the relationship between ISO standards and agriculture, and food. For more information see the following links: “ISO and agriculture”' and “ISO and food”.
