GAP are agricultural practices that address environmental, economic, and social sustainability at the farm level. They aim to produce safe and quality food and non-food products. GAP benefits include improved food quality and safety, easier market access, and lower risks of non-compliance. Main challenges are increased production costs for record keeping, testing, and certification as well as limited access to information and support services.

- 2. • GAP are practices that address environmental, economic & social sustainability for on-farm processes, and result in safe and quality food and non-food agricultural products • Developed by the food industry, producer organizations, governments & NGOs, aiming to codify agricultural practices at farm level • GAP benefits are: -food quality & safety improvement -facilitating market access -reduction in non-compliance risks re. permitted pesticides, MRLs & other contamination hazards Main challenges: -increase in production cost like recordkeeping, residue testing & certification -Inadequate access to information and support services
- 3. • Water • A)Agriculture • B)Processing • Manure, Compost and Other similar Fertilizers • Sanitary Facility • Field Sanitation • Packing Facility Sanitation • Transportation • Trace back
- 4. Good Practices Process Knowledge Values and Ethics Skills
- 5. • Improvement in Crop Productivity (Major Crops): M A I Z E Gaps: Less HYV (hybrids) Area Non adoption of weed control Less use of Fertilizer Strategies: Increase in area under hybrid Maize Balance nutrient use on soil test basis Effective weed control
- 6. • Improvement in Crop Productivity (Major Crops): R I C E Gaps: Low Plant Population Less use of Fertilizer Cold Irrigation Water Losses due to Blast Strategies: Seed Treatment, IPM Adoption of SRI for proper Plant Population Balanced Fertilizer use Adoption of Rice Hybrids Increase in SRR
- 7. • Improvement in Crop Productivity (Major Crops): W H E A T Gaps: Maximum area rainfed Problem of Rust and Loose Smut Less use of Fertilizer Strategies: Life saving irrigation through micro irrigation system Seed treatment Increase in SRR 13% to 35% Balanced Fertilizer use Adoption of moisture conservation and drought resistant varieties
- 8. • Soil Health Management: To provide Soil Health Card to each farmer and to make it online
- 10. Soil Health Management can be done through: Balance use of Nutrients (NPK Ratio) Promotion of Organic Farming Strengthening of Soil/ Fertilizer Testing Services Setting up of Mobile Soil Laboratory Strengthening of Lab Capacity Building Training/ Demo. District Digital Soil Map Promotion of INM (ha.)
- 11. • Conservation and Management of Natural Resources Maximum area is under rainfed. Annual rainfall 1017 mm. Un even distribution of rain fall. Problem of Soil erosion/Degradation
- 12. • Conservation and Management of Natural Resources Watershed Development Programme Impact of Watershed Programme Creation of Water potential through Water Harvesting
- 13. • Seed Development/ Seed Chain Production and Distribution of Certified Seed Increase of Seed Replacement Rate (SRR %) Seed Village Programme
- 14. • Precision Farming : Polyhouses: Micro-Irrigation: Sprinkler System Drip System
- 15. • Crop Protection and IPM : Reduction in Consumption of Chemical Pesticides Promotion of Integrated Pest Management I.P.M. Demonstrations and Farmers Field School Seed Treatment
- 16. Crop Diversification/ Niche Farming: NEED FOR DIVERSIFICATION • Household food / nutritional security • Risk coverage : Mono cropping high risk • Rural employment opportunities • Sustainability of Production Systems
- 17. • Extension and Transfer of Technology: Crop Demonstration Skill Training Prog. (Farmers) FIG/ SHG/ FO Exposure Visits Mass Media Support Implementation of AGRISNET Portal
- 18. • Insurance and Credit : Distribution of Kisan credit card Crop loan scheme Loan on fertilizers Insurance of the crop
- 19. • Mechanisation: Tractors/ Power Tillers Power Thresher Other Equipments Demonstration of New Equip.

- 21. GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES (GAP) Who initiated the GAP as a Standard? 1. EurepGAP, initiated in 1997, by European Retailers, and other members of input and services side of Agriculture. 2. First version released in Europe in 2001. 3. EurepGAP standard is designed to reassure consumers – about how food is produced on farm by minimizing detrimental environmental impacts of Farming operations, – reducing the use of chemical inputs – ensuring responsible approach to worker health and safety as well as animal welfare.
- 22. GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES (GAP) GAP BENEFITS: FOOD QUALITY & SAFETY IMPROVEMENT FACILITATING MARKET ACCESS REDUCTION IN NON COMPLIANCE RISES REGARDING PERMITTED PESTICIDES AND OTHER CONTAMINATION HAZARDS. MAIN CHALLENGES: INCREASE IN PRODUCTION COST LIKE RECORD KEEPING, RESIDUE TESTING AND CERTIFICATION INADEQUATE ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND SUPORT SERVICES.
