Descripción
Organic certification is the process whereby a third party certifies compliance with the standards of organic production for a specific crop. The Codex Alimentarius defines organic agriculture as a holistic system of production which promotes and improves the agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity. It takes into account that regional conditions require locally adapted systems, which is achieved by using, when possible, cultural, biological a nd mechanical methods, as opposed to synthetic inputs.
