Mission: Sustainable Farm Certification, Intl. contributes to the advancement of social and environmental best practices through high quality, transparent certification in accordance with the Sustainable Agriculture Network's standard.

Sustainable Farm Certification, Intl. is responsible for making certification decisions as a result of its evaluation of audit reports provided by inspection bodies. Once agricultural producers receive certification for their farms, they can apply to use the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal on their products.

Certification is open to all applicants who fulfill the social and environmental best practices defined in the standards established by the Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN). Individual farms or farm groups can apply for certification.

The SAN is a coalition of leading conservation groups that links responsible farmers with conscientious consumers by means of the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal of approval. Its collective vision is based on the concept of sustainability, recognizing that the well-being of societies and ecosystems is intertwined and dependent on development that is environmentally sound, socially equitable and economically viable. The SAN develops and owns the Sustainable Agriculture Standard.

The Rainforest Alliance works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior. Companies, cooperatives and landowners that participate in its programs meet rigorous standards that conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods.
