“Beyond safety, standardization drives efficiency and sustainability in agriculture. Growers and packers can use Global Location Numbers (GLNs) to identify fields and packing houses, linking produce directly to its source. This granular data helps in complying with stringent regulations like FSMA 204. Furthermore, GS1 standards support fresher inventories and reduced food waste by enabling "First Expired, First Out" (FEFO) stock management, ensuring that produce reaches consumers at peak quality.”
