加拿大的有机食品除了对土壤、种植……有要求,而且是非转基因食品。 What Does Certified Organic Mean?
The “Canada Organic • Biologique Canada” mark is a small symbol that carries a big message.
It verifies that the food bearing this logo is produced under rigorous organic standards regulated by the Government of Canada. It also represents good health, nutritious food and environmentally-beneficial practices. It’s a sign of goodness, and your best guarantee that a product is truly organic!
Certified Organic means that a food or fibre product has been grown and made without the use of GMOs or nanotechnology, artificial preservatives and colours, synthetic chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, sewage sludge or irradiation. But it’s much more than that, it also about:
Improving soil health and promoting essential soil micro-biology
Rotating crops to balance nutrients in the soil, no mono-cropping
Using plough-down crops to add nitrogen & organic matter to the soil to suppress weeds and reduce drought and soil erosion
Promoting wildlife diversity
Keeping detailed records which provide the means for complete food traceability from field to plate
Humane treatment and handling of animals including outdoor access
Using beneficial insects or mechanical methods to control weeds & pests
