Quality criteria of organic products:
Organic-agriculture practices on farms
Organic farming is a system of farm design and management practices that seeks to create ecosystems which achieve sustainable productivity, and provide weed and pest control, through a diverse mix of mutually dependent life forms, recycling of plant and animal residues, crop selection and rotation, water management, tillage and cultivation. Soil fertility is maintained and enhanced by a system, which optimizes soil biological activity as the means to provide nutrients for plant and animal life as well as conserve soil reserves.
What is not permitted in organic agriculture
Organic food production prohibits the use of highly soluble or synthetically compounded mineral fertilizers, synthetically compounded pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, plants and animal growth regulators, antibiotics, hormones, preservatives, coloring or other artificial additives, ionizing irradiation and recombinant genetic manipulation of plants or animals.
About animals...
Organic livestock is raised under conditions of minimal stress including reasonable freedom of movement, lack of crowding and access to sunshine, fresh air and water. All grains, forages and protein supplements fed to the animals must be organically grown. Animal health must be maintained without the use of antibiotics, synthetic growth promoters, hormones or similar products.
