Round Table on Responsible Soy Association

In order to involved a broader range of producers into the P&C certification scheme, RTRS developed a progressive entry level that includes a continuous improvement approach. All the indicators of the P&C were weighted to categorize them by their relevance, having into account: the opinion of the three constituencies of RTRS, other sustainability certification schemes approach to similar issues, analysis of evidence gathered during the  field tests period, small farmers inclusion, international legislation,  to determine a  realistic, credible  and pragmatic approach  of the RTRS scheme.
