Organic farming systems
Production under certified standards that exclude synthetic pesticides and mineral fertilisers and GMOs, relying on rotations, organic matter and biological pest control.
1 · What it gives
Organic farming is a distinct production system rather than a single technology and overlaps the agroecology and organic-certification pages of the portal. Rules and labels differ by market (for example the EU organic regulation and the USDA National Organic Program), so exporters must certify per destination or rely on equivalence agreements.
- Conversion period: Farm to organic rules for a transition period before products can be sold as organic.
- Soil and crop plan: Plan rotations, cover crops, compost and manure to supply nutrients.
- Pest and weed management: Use approved biological, mechanical and preventive methods.
- Certification and sale: Pass annual inspection by an accredited certifier and market with the organic label.
