// Definition
A quality standard for the agricultural phase of cannabis production, covering growing and harvesting practices. GACP is the cultivation counterpart to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), which covers post-harvest processing.
// From the Episode
Josh (from the Kootenay community) and Kelly distinguished between GACP for agricultural practices and GMP/EUGMP for post-harvest manufacturing, noting the European EUGMP standard is more stringent than standard GMP. They observed that meeting these standards while maintaining organic, regenerative growing methods requires continued education, and expressed concern that pharmaceutical standards may 'shave off biology' from cannabis medicine.
