Frequently Asked Questions

What is Globally Responsible Production? 

Globally Responsible Production (GRP) is an organization focused on enabling market access while promoting growing practices that are both environmentally and socially responsible.

​

What type of farms can enroll with GRP? 

All types of farms may enroll with GRP. There is currently a wide variety of programs available for row crop operations. Program opportunities are always expanding. Stay up-to-date with program offers by enrolling your operation in GRP!

​

Does my local co-op have to be partnered with GRP for me to enroll with GRP?

No! We encourage you to tell your local co-op or ag retailer about us but it is not required that they are partnered with us for your farm to cash in on sustainability programs.

​

What is the first step to finding out if my farm qualifies?

At the very top of our website there is a "Sign Up" click on that, create your log in and let's get started!​

​

What are the most valuable sustainability practices that offer financial incentives?

There are several ways to benefit from sustainability programs, but the most rewarded practices typically include planting cover crops, adopting reduced or no-till methods, optimizing nitrogen application timing, implementing diverse crop rotations, and more.

​

What are the benefits of working with GRP as a farmer or rancher? 

One of the key benefits of partnering with GRP is the opportunity to access new markets through our commitment to responsible farming practices. By enrolling in our program, you will have the opportunity to showcase your products to a wider audience of consumers who value sustainable and ethical practices. Additionally, there are no costs associated with participation, and we cover all the costs of the certification process for growers. We place a strong emphasis on protecting your data and maintaining your confidentiality. Our program is designed to increase market access and promote responsible farming practices without compromising the privacy of our growers. â€‹

​

What commitments do farmers make when working with GRP? 

GRP farmers value sustainable farming practices, leaving farm fields improved for the benefit of future generations. Farmers can utilize the GRP system with no long-term commitment to the program, leaving them the flexibility to make the right decisions for their farms.

 

Why does this matter?

Access to great food, preserving our planet, and protecting food security are essential to a healthy and just future for all. GRP exists to safeguard these rights—not just for ourselves, but especially for those who are most vulnerable. And we believe the only way to achieve this is by working together.

​

What does food security mean? 

There are two elements to food security. The basic element is the ability of all people, regardless of socioeconomic background, to access sufficient, safe, nutritious, and affordable food. The second element focuses on national defense and economic protection. Nations that serve as a food resource for populations beyond their own citizens are less of a target of military action and can also continuously generate revenue. â€‹

​

How does GRP connect consumers with farmers?  

We bridge the gap between consumers and farmers by sharing transparent, easy-to-understand information about how food is grown, sourced, and distributed. Our program highlights sustainable, ethical farming practices and fosters appreciation for the people behind our food. Whether it’s through storytelling, educational materials, or direct-to-farmer access points, we’re building a more informed and connected food system.
