taastuvail loodusvaradel põhinev ja loodusseadusi järgiv taime- ja loomakasvatus
selline põllumajanduslik tootmisviis, kus pööratakse suurt tähelepanu keskkonnahoiule ja ökoloogilisele tasakaalule
farming which follows practices designed to minimise the human impact on the environment, while ensuring the agricultural system operates as naturally as possible; such practices may include wide crop rotation, very strict limits on chemical synthetic pesticide and synthetic fertiliser use, a prohibition of the use of genetically modified organisms, choosing plant and animal species that are resistant to disease and adapted to local conditions, and raising livestock in free-range, open-air systems and providing them with organic feed
crop production systems that generally exclude the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals

organic - describes agricultural raw materials which have been grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides or growth promoters. Organic foods have agricultural inputs grown or processed from organic raw materials. For a food to be legally defined as organic in the EU not less than 95% of the agricultural inputs must be from organic sources. If between 50% and 95% of the agricultural input is organic this can be declared, but only on the ingredient list.
