Summary/Abstract: The report examines the mechanisms for standardizing sustainable agricultural practices, such as the emergence of responsibility towards the environment and society. They are defined as the voluntary commitments of various actors in the global value chain (producers, consumers, processors, retailers, etc.) and are usually structured around a particular agricultural product. The report analyzes Voluntary sustainable standards as viable business practices with the support of relevant stakeholders, includng private sector, public sector and civil society actors. From the point of view of the concept of multi-model standardization, it has been concluded that these „de facto“ standards seek solutions to specific problems related to the imposition of sustainable development in the agricultural sector.
