Faced with a variety of modern sources of pollution, there are many food detection units not detected, consumers would be clean enough to eat food, and pollution. Organic purposes put [protect the land, the maintenance of ecological balance ]as the goal, organic agriculture is a [not to use any mroe] or [not to use as much as possible] of chemical fertilizers and pesticides production methods in order to maintain or improve soil fertility and the maintenance of ecological principles, such as a virtuous circle agriculture. Points of pure organic cultivation and two quasi-organic cultivation. Pure organic cultivation is the use of chemical pesticides will not be the way of cultivation, and must be fully used unpolluted organic fertilizers and natural methods of pest control; quasi-organic cultivation is limited in scope to allow the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides with low toxicity , but the product of any of the cultivation of pesticide residues, artificial source in the production of a clear classification and marking, the Association accredited inspectors issued that certificate.
What is organic agriculture?
Organic agriculture is not a safe chemical fertilizers, chemical pesticides, the production of hormones, and chemical synthesis of substances such as animal feed additives, or the use of genetically engineered organisms and their products of the production system, the core of which is the establishment of agro-ecosystems and the restoration of biological diversity and a virtuous circle, in order to maintain the sustainable development of agriculture. In organic crop production systems, crop residues, livestock manure, legume crops, green manure and organic waste is a major source of soil fertility; crop rotation as well as various physical, biological and ecological measures are the primary means of pest control.

Organic food (Organic Foods) Objective: To avoid chemical residues in food and fertilizer caused by pesticide risk. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency studies have found that chemical fertilizer residue in the vegetables, one of the nitrogen entering the human body can be easily converted into acid carcinogens. And pesticides: the blood will lead to nervous system diseases and disorders of the disease difficult to treat. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) published in 1994 [the national organic food project (National Organic Program)]: the definition of organic food and its management to understand the norms: 1, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Federal Food and Drug Administration will conduct regular sampling, sampling from the production environment, on-site operating procedures, to the product sales process, are included in inspections to ensure that consumers can be completely natural, non-toxic, non-residual [cleaning] products. 2, Soil and Fertilizer: synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides must not be allowed in the use of the crops on. Must be applied to the production of compost or manure or fish meal and other livestock. 3, control of plant diseases and insect pests: the approval of the use of [natural pesticides] or insect pest of [biological control method]. 4, food animal: not available artificial growth promoters, hormone injections, antibiotics and other drugs to increase production. The benefits of organic food is that consumers will not be subject to the risk of chemical residues of toxic substances threat. The greatest contribution of organic food is to help human beings and the Earth’s ecological environment to live in harmony and achieve human [sustainable survival] goals. The types of organic products from the first crop (such as cereals, vegetables, herbs, etc.) be extended to meat, milk, fish and bees and other animal products. So far, a growing number of organic processed foods (such as oil, sugar, candy, snacks, bread, wine, food additives, etc.) to enter the market. Together with other non-food products include: feed, cotton, hemp, a natural insecticide and repellent agent, cut flowers, potted plant, leather, wood and wood products, cosmetics and cleaning supplies, as well as individual components, so that organic products can cover almost every aspect of human life. |
