Organic agriculture is a production method that emphasizes the use of
renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance
environmental quality. Organic food products are produced using:
Agricultural management practices that promote healthy eco-systems
and prohibit the use of genetically engineered seeds or crops, sewage
sludge, long-lasting pesticides, herbicides or fungicides.
Livestock management practices that promote healthy, humanely
treated animals by providing organically-grown feed, fresh air and
outdoor access while using no antibiotics or added growth hormones.
Food processing practices that protect the integrity of the organic
product and disallow irradiation, genetically modified ingredients
(GMOs) or synthetic preservatives.
