Benchmarking Agricultural Standards for IDH-SIFAV
For IDH-SIFAV, we benchmarked agricultural certification standards to develop a "basket of water standards" for retailers and food companies. We assessed widely used certifications against key water-related criteria building on previous work conducted by WWF. These included governance, efficiency, quality management, ecosystems, and WASH. Using a scoring system, we ranked these standards to help supply chain partners work towards legal, efficient, and sustainable water use. This work, initiated in 2021 and updated in 2023-24, is now part of broader efforts to strengthen standard systems for water stewardship in agriculture through collective action.
