Argentine Network of Good Agricultural Practices: A pioneer national initiative in LATAM promoting sustainable agriculture
...
The PACN is a private voluntary adhesion program, administrated by the Bolsa de Cereales de Buenos Aires, and developed to promote the consolidation of a sustainable brand for Argentine products from the food, beverage and bioenergy export sectors. This brand is achieved through joint sectoral work on carbon footprint quantification methodologies, measurement practices, improvement, and neutrality, until capturing the economic value of the reduction achieved beyond existing commitments. The PACN is implemented through Sectoral Roundtables, that are comprised of producers, groups and/or associations, companies and sectoral chambers from each of the productive value chain links, hence ensuring full national geographic representation.
