BRC Global Standard for Food Safety
BRCGS for Food Safety certification with Kiwa: improve your food safety, meet customer demands and showcase your performance.
Farming and Livestock
Farming and livestock operations are the foundation of the food supply chain, where animal health, feed quality, and production practices directly influence food safety and sustainability. Kiwa supports farmers and livestock operators by providing independent assessment and assurance services that help manage risk, meet regulatory requirements, and support responsible, transparent agricultural practices.
What We Do
Kiwa evaluates farming and livestock operations with a focus on feed use, animal welfare, hygiene practices, traceability, and compliance with applicable standards. Our assessments support transparency and accountability across primary production systems.
Why This Matters
Primary production is increasingly subject to regulatory oversight and market expectations related to safety, sustainability, and animal welfare. Independent verification helps producers demonstrate compliance, reduce risk, and maintain access to domestic and international markets.
