Definition

An agricultural production concept defining practices, measurements, or controls used to grow and harvest crops efficiently and responsibly. It governs field operations, resource inputs, and monitoring steps that influence yield, quality, and environmental performance. It does not ensure outcomes without appropriate execution and cannot substitute for site assessment and ongoing monitoring.
