Integrated Farm Assistance (IFA)
IFA Version 6
GLOBALG.A.P.’s IFA program has moved to version 6 as of January 1, 2024. IFA v6 Smart is now obligatory and IFA v6 GFS will follow once GFSI recognition is achieved (estimated in Q3/4 of 2024). In the meantime, IFA v5.4-1-GFS will remain the recommended version for those seeking GFSI-recognized certification.
What Has Changed In Version 6?
The move from IFA v5.2 to v6 includes a wide range of changes to the standard, from introducing a three-year audit cycle and removing the livestock scope to alterations in the variety of scopes still covered in the standard. For a comprehensive summary of everything changing in the new version, check out this document from GLOBALG.A.P.
