The GASAP (Groupe d'Achats Solidaires de l'Agriculture Paysanne) offer a direct and solidary link with local farms that work for an agroecological agriculture, which provides jobs in our regions. It is much more than a basket of organic vegetables, it is a real food alternative!

Like the French AMAPs, the GASAPs are a citizens' initiative and aim to support peasant agriculture and are federated in the GASAP Network. This translates into a partnership between eaters and producers who make a mutual, long-term commitment.

GASAP Network federates its members (groupes and producers) and develops projets, in particular :
- P.A.N.I.E.R. project: wich aims to remove the barriers to sustainable eating by distributing baskets of organic and local produce at lower prices to people on the margins of society
- PGS, Participatory Guarantee System: as a tool for bringing together eaters and producers, and creating a space for peer exchange and training
- PGS inter-associative platform: to federate SPG initiatives in Belgium and ensure their coherence and collaboration.
