Organic production systems are those designed to produce optimum quantities of food of a quality acceptable to consumers by using management practices which aim to avoid the use of agrochemical inputs and which minimise damage to the environment and wildlife.
Organic crops are grown using natural techniques like crop rotations and resistant varieties. Only a small number of pesticides can be used on organic crops. These are largely derived from natural sources. Organic food must be free from any genetically modified (GM) material.
