NOP regulations

NOP regulations, established by the USDA’s National Organic Program, set standards for organic farming practices. They ensure that products labeled as "organic" are produced without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, GMOs, or artificial additives. These rules also cover issues like animal welfare and environmental sustainability. Farmers and producers must follow strict guidelines and undergo certification processes to meet NOP standards. This system helps consumers trust that organic products are genuinely grown and processed according to environmentally friendly and natural principles, maintaining transparency and integrity in the organic food industry.
