Organic farming and food is a booming industry that has been around for decades. In recent years, people are paying more attention to the organic food market because of the growing demand. Organic products have become a status symbol. It is important to understand what is allowed and prohibited in the organic world in order to expand your business. You must be aware of the international organic standards that can be enforced by law or voluntarily agreed upon by producers and consumers.
The organic label is crucial to building consumer confidence in the meaning of “organic” products. Organic certification can be a difficult process, having multiple layers of requirements and regulations to follow. The Organic inspection helps maintain compliance with the strict requirements, while providing guidance to producers on how they can enhance farm record-keeping systems and improve overall efficiencies.
It recognized symbol that says a product is grown and processed without the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizer, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, irradiation or ionizing radiation. The USDA has maintained this program with the goal of providing consumers with food that is free from these materials. In order to maintain the integrity of the organic label, organizations must adhere to strict guidelines.
Organic Certification Requirements
The USDA has a few different requirements that must be met to maintain organic certification. The first requirement is that farmers have an organic plan in place in order to reach a farm’s goal and meeting the requirements of the National Organic Program (NOP). The second requirement is that the farm must have a certified handler on site to handle all pitches. It should also have a plan for recording and updating records, which are important to maintain consumer trust and confidence.
