The program
Chile Conscious Origin is a program led by the Office of Agricultural Research and Policy (ODEPA), part of the Ministry of Agriculture, to promote the implementation of good practices in the Chilean agri-food sector and incorporate sustainability as a differentiating attribute in the food produced in our country.
Through the program, companies and farmers can use a methodology to incorporate sustainability into their productive reality, with a scheme that allows them to verify their compliance through self-assessments and independent audits in a logic of management, transparency, and continuous improvement to produce healthier, safer and more sustainable foods that contribute to the care and development of their workers and the community.
