Completion ≠ Certification
FarmSync Academy trains farmers. JAPAC-GAP certifies them. Per ISO/IEC 17065, these cannot be the same entity. No Readiness Score, completed module or paid tier on this platform is a certification result. Farm and training data belongs to the farmer or cooperative — this platform supports them; it does not audit them.
