PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIC AGRICULTURE
• 1. The Principle of Health• Organic Agriculture should sustain and enhance the health of soil, plant,
animal, human and planet.
• 2. The Principle of Ecology• Organic Agriculture should be based on living ecological systems and cycles,
work with them, emulate them and help sustain them.
• 3. The Principle of Fairness• Organic Agriculture should build on relationships that ensure fairness with
regard to the common environment and life opportunities.
• 4. The Principle of Care• Organic Agriculture should be managed in a precautionary and responsible
manner to protect the health and well-being of current and future generations and the environment.
IFOAM Accreditation
The IFOAM Accreditation Program was launched in 1992. It has been operating on the basis of the IFOAM Norms composed, up to 2011, of the IFOAM Basic Standards (IBS), and the IFOAM Accreditation Criteria (IAC). IFOAM accreditation was awarded to certification bodies that complied with the IAC and that used certification standards that meet the IBS. In the 2012 edition of the IFOAM Norms the IAC have been renamed “IFOAM Accreditation Requirements” (IAR) and the IBS has been replaced by the IFOAM Standards and the IFOAM Standards Requirements (COROS). Starting from August 2012, IFOAM-Accredited certification bodies have a 2-year period to bring their standard in compliance with the IFOAM Standard.
