Certification that meets the definition of organic according to the Regulation, such as the EU organic logo or an organic certificate from a supervisory authority.Why and how to use the criteria?
Regulation (EU) 2018/848 on organic production and labelling of organic products defines organic production as an overall system of farm management and food production that combines best environmental practices, a high level of biodiversity, the preservation of natural resources and the application of high animal welfare standards and high production standards. The reduction in livestock grazing and the use of pesticides in crop cultivation decrease biodiversity and compromise the living conditions of insects and birds. Organic production requires outdoor grazing and prohibits the use of synthetic pesticides. Organic production also requires crop rotation, which improves soil biodiversity and protects against plant diseases. The abundance of plant species in organic production also has a positive effect on the number of pollinators. Organic certification also serves to verify multiple sustainability criteria. It can be used to verify, for example, the origin of the product as well as environmentally friendly and biodiversity-enhancing practices in primary production, including the requirement for crop rotation.Criterion information
