管理食品安全、食品质量以及农业食品系统的环境和社会影响的私人标准越来越普遍，这引起了人们对其对发展中国家以及更广泛的农业食品价值链治理的影响的关注。有人认为，由于未能认识到私人标准在制度形式方面的多样性，以及谁制定和采用这些标准以及为什么要采用这些标准，目前的辩论已经“蒙上了阴影”。特别是，有必要认识到公共法规和私人标准之间的密切相互关系以及私人标准不断发展的方式。
The increasing prevalence of private standards governing food safety, food quality and environmental and social impacts of agri-food systems has raised concerns about the effects on developing countries, as well as the governance of agri-food value chains more broadly. It is argued that current debates have been 'clouded' by a failure to recognise the diversity of private standards in terms of their institutional form, who develops and adopts these standards and why. In particular, there is a need to appreciate the close inter-relationships between public regulations and private standards and the continuing ways in which private standards evolve.
