The functioning of the control and certification system in organic farming is the basic guarantee for the consumer that the foodstuffs on the market have been produced in accordance with applicable regulations on organic farming.
Organic food is high-quality food obtained from plant or animal products that are produced in the organic farm system, i.e. one that avoids the use of chemical plant protection products, artificial fertilizers, growth regulators, feed additives. These are safe products, rich in nutrients, containing more vitamins, minerals and other valuable ingredients than products obtained in a conventional way. They do not provide any toxic chemicals and are a guarantee of a good, natural taste, free of additives such as flavor enhancers.
It is worth emphasizing that organic food is produced without the use of genetically modified organisms and is not exposed to ionizing radiation. These are also products whose negative impact on the environment is maximally limited or completely eliminated.
