Lidl Launches Biodiversity Standard For Fruit And Vegetable Producers

Discounter Lidl has developed a new global standard with GLOBAL GAP around increased biodiversity in the production of fruit and vegetables in Europe.

The GLOBAL GAP Add-On BioDiversity module is available to all players in the fruit and vegetable sector to complement the current GLOBAL GAP standard for good agricultural practices, the retailer noted.

The retailer conducted trials in Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain, involving several agencies and farms to test the requirements in the field.
