What makes an Organic Coffee, Organic?
WHAT IS ORGANIC?
The National Organic Standards Board Definition of
"Organic"
The following definition of "organic"
was passed by the NOSB at its April 1995 meeting in Orlando, FL.
"Organic agriculture is an ecological
production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity,
biological cycles and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of
off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance
ecological harmony.
'Organic' is a labeling term that denotes products
produced under the authority of the Organic Foods Production Act. The principal
guidelines for organic production are to use materials and practices that
enhance the ecological balance of natural systems and that integrate the parts
of the farming system into an ecological whole.
Organic agriculture practices cannot ensure that
products are completely free of residues; however, methods are used to minimize
pollution from air, soil and water.
Organic food handlers, processors and retailers
adhere to standards that maintain the integrity of organic agricultural
products. The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and
productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and
people."
