Who is it for?
Non-GMO food/feed supply chain operators whose buyer or certification requirement names ProTerra specifically.
Who issues the certificate?

What to verify before you accept it
Confirm the certification body's current authorisation under the ProTerra programme and its accreditation basis directly with ProTerra Foundation, since the accreditation model was not confirmed in this verification round.
What triggers an assessment?
- A buyer or supply chain requirement names ProTerra specifically.
What does it not replace?
- It is not the same scheme as MSC, Rainforest Alliance, Bonsucro or RTRS verified in this round; a buyer's requirement specifies exactly one.
