The certification for agriculture that exploits the natural fertility of the soil promotes the biodiversity of the environment in which it operates
Organic farming is a production method:
- that admits the use of natural and organic substances only, excluding the use of chemical and / or genetically modified ones;
- that exploits natural resources (soil, water and air) in a non-intensive way;
- which takes into great consideration the safeguarding of biodiversity and the seasonality of the products.
The recipients of the certification are the operators who produce, prepare, store, market or import from a third country both live or unprocessed agricultural products and processed agricultural products destined to be used as food obtained with the organic farming method.
The service is valid both for the traditional farmer who intends to subject his activity to the organic farming method, and to the farmer who already works in the organic sector and asks to be certified.
