About Organic
For many years, certified organic and biodynamic farmers have followed internationally recognised organic standards that are used throughout the entire organic supply chain. No synthetic pesticides, no toxic chemicals, antibiotics, synthetic herbicides or fertilisers, no food additives, growth enhancers, GMOs or irradiation are permitted in certified organic production systems.
