The basic principles for obtaining the EU organic label include:
no usage of mineral nitrogen fertilisers
no usage of synthetic pesticides,
no usage of genetically modified organisms (GMOs),
a closed nutrient cycle through land-based animal husbandry,
diversified crop rotations and
animal-friendly husbandry practices
What is the difference between the EU organic label and the labels of private organic associations such as Demeter, Naturland and others?
In addition to the legal requirements, we also also provide certification for private organic standards. The guidelines of the organic associations are based on the EU Organic Regulation. Additionally, each association sets its own and often more detailed requirements and guidelines, which differ from association to association. Your business will be audited by us on compliance with both requirements. Compliance with association guidelines is voluntary.
