Certifications
Agricultural Certification is one of the most powerful and efficient strategies used today. It is a set of social, environmental and economic norms and rules, which encompass the demands of the consumer market, helping to create specific products in terms of acceptance and prices, differentiating products and producers.
Taking these principles into account, José Carlos Grossi adhered, in 2005, to the Agricultural Certification. Conservation practices are essential for the practice of good agriculture in the long term, such as maintenance of the legal reserve of native vegetation, good working conditions on farms and the protection of water sources and margins of water bodies.
The objective of the Agricultural Certification Program on José Carlos Grossi's farms is to seek a balance between agricultural activity and socio-environmental conservation, ensuring compliance with social, environmental and economic aspects in the properties, promoting sustainability. The certification helps in the practice of responsible agriculture, and encourages the adequacy of production systems with the protection of biodiversity, providing socioeconomic development not only on the farms, but also in the local communities where they are located.
