Certified Organic

Certified organic refers to agricultural products that meet specific standards set by regulatory bodies regarding how they are grown, processed, and handled. This means that organic farming practices avoid synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Instead, organic farming emphasizes natural methods, such as crop rotation and composting. To be labeled as certified organic, farmers must undergo a rigorous certification process, ensuring compliance with these standards. This label helps consumers make informed choices about the food they purchase, often associated with environmental sustainability and better health.
