Organic Certifications
Organic certification is a certification process for producers of organic food and other
organic agricultural products. In general, any business directly involved in food production
can be certified, including seed suppliers, farmers, food processors, retailers and
restaurants. Requirements vary from country to country, and generally involve a set of
production standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping.

as “organic” have been produced according to organic standards.

in humane conditions.
