A clear, step-by-step guide to how CG Foundation certification works for farmers, supply chain actors and brands.
Farmer is enrolled through an implementing partner, receives a unique farm ID and completes baseline data collection.
Farmer attends seasonal training sessions covering all six standard modules. Attendance is digitally recorded.
At the end of each season, farmer self-assesses against the standard criteria with facilitator support.
Internal auditors from the implementing partner verify the self-assessment in a field visit.
An accredited independent verifier samples a proportion of farmers for independent assessment.
Based on verification findings, a certification decision is made and the farmer receives their certificate.
Our team will guide you through every step.
