Principles of Organic Agriculture
Principle of Health:
Organic agriculture should sustain and enhance the health of soil, plants, animals, humans and the planet as one and indivisible.
Principle of Ecology:
Organic agriculture should be based on living ecological systems and cycles, working with them, emulating them, and helping to sustain them.
Principle of Fairness:
Organic agriculture should build on relationships that ensure fairness with regard to the common environment and life opportunities.
Principle of Care:
Organic agriculture should be managed in a precautionary and responsible manner to protect the heath and well-being of current and future generations and the environment.
