The German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture supported the development of GRAS through its Agency for Renewable Resources. By integrating information on land use change, ecological and social issues, biodiversity and carbon stocks, the tool can be used for risk analysis and land use assessment. GRAS has many applications, including use by auditors, certification bodies and certification systems for sustainability audits and sustainability risk analysis.

The following day, June 24, in Miami, a full day joint regional stakeholder meeting will be held for stakeholders from both the North American and South American technical committees. It’s the seventh meeting of the South American technical committee and the fourth meeting of the North American technical committee. Those committees meet to discuss regional requirements to develop the ISCC and also facilitate conversations among stakeholders.
