STAR4BBS D3.4 Sustainability requirements for the monitoring system

This report presents analysis carried out by the STAR4BSS project to whether the minimum requirements included in the content level of the BMT can also apply to smallholders. The analysis demonstrates that the capacity of smallholders to attain certain requirements is lower compared to large companies, thus only a small number of requirements should be considered as applicable to smallholders. It is also concluded that more attainable criteria and adequate support should be provided in order to help them on the certification processes. Besides, the findings of this report help clarify the scope and application of the BIOBASEDCERT Monitoring Tool developed together with SUSTCERT4BIOBASED and HARMONITOR Projects.
