Across the globe, consumers are willing to pay top dollar for the assurance that their products are produced in accordance with strict organic standards. In addition to protecting the environment, organic certification can translate to significant financial benefit for your business. So, what does organic mean? Organic agriculture is based on holistic production management systems which promote and enhance:
Organic agriculture emphasizes the use of management practices in preference to the use of off-farm inputs, taking into account that conditions require locally adapted systems. These goals are met, where possible, through the use of cultural, biological, and mechanical methods, as opposed to using synthetic materials, to fulfill specific functions within the system. There are additional certifications that let consumers know that your company follows other standards such as Regenerative Organic Certified®, Organic Plus Trust Grass-Fed, Bird Friendly, GLOBAL GAP, and more.
