GAP Connections (GAPC) was established in 2013 as a nonprofit agricultural membership organization to work with growers and stakeholders to raise standards in the tobacco industry through good agricultural practices focused on three main management areas: Crop, Environmental and Labor Management. GAPC provides leadership for the adoption of agricultural standards and practices that produce a quality crop while protecting, sustaining or enhancing the environment, ensures the safety and rights of farm laborers and recognizes those producers who are committed to a higher standard. In an industry filled with standards and requirements that are both variable and numerous, GAP Connections pursues simplicity, ease, and efficiency, in order to achieve maximum adoption of practices that improve agricultural products, better the conditions of those individuals engaged in agriculture, and sustain or enhance the environment agriculture, depends on and operates in. GAPC believes every decision matters from how you grow to how you work.
