What We Mean By Organic
"Organic" refers to the way agricultural products - whether food or fibre - are grown and processed. The word "organic" on the label stands for a commitment to a system of agriculture that strives for balance with nature, using methods and materials that are low impact to the environment.
Organic agriculture is an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony.
Organic Agriculture:
- Replienishes and maintains soil fertility
- Eliminates the use of toxic and persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and
- Buils biologically diverse agricultural systems.
Organic products meet stringent standards
Organic certification is the public's assurance that products have been grown and handled according to strict procedures without persistent toxic chemical inputs.
When a grower or processor is "certified organic", an independent organization verifies that the company meets or exceeds defined organic standards.
Why buy organic?
