EKO / SKAL

Organic agriculture

Organic agricultural maintains the balance between humans, plants and animals. In Organic agricultural, Artificial fertiliser is avoided together with chemical and synthetic pesticides.  Organic agricultural also means that animals are kept in the best possible circumstances as far as accommodation and feed are concerned. Furthermore, genetically modified organisms are not permitted.

Organic products

To be able to give a product the organic title on the label the production has to adhere to specific norms, which are set out in European law.

European law only permits the labeling as "organic" when the product or animal has been supplied with a organic certificate and is from organic origin.

Skal

Besides that, the organisation supervises the compliance with the law concerning the rules and regulations of biological production of food. They also look after a constant stream of information to consumers and producers.

Objective Skal
