It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic Agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved. The Principles of Organic Agriculture Organic Agriculture is based on the principles of health, ecology, fairness and care. The Scope of Organic Agriculture IFOAM regards any system that is based on the Principles of Organic Agriculture and uses organic methods, as ‘Organic Agriculture’ and any farmer practicing such a system as an ‘organic farmer’. This includes various forms of certified and non-certified Organic Agriculture. Guarantee Systems may be for instance third party certification, including group certification, as well as participatory guarantee systems. That’s Organic - Worldwide.

Organic agriculture offers a real alternative to conventional, chemical-based agriculture. Organic means sustainability over long term and food security. It means respect for the environment and biodiversity. It also means reducing dependence on fossil fuels that contribute to climate change. Supporting organic certainly means opposing genetic engineering in all of agriculture. Our Nature is Organic We firmly believe that organic agriculture can produce sufficient, safe and healthy food for everyone. But organic agriculture still remains a small fraction of the total agricultural and food production of the world. Therefore, IFOAM is constantly working to enable organic trade, protect organic integrity, provide invaluable resources and information, and guarantee that the organic voice is heard at critical policy discussions worldwide. IFOAM wants to enhance the organic community, to help create a vision of the future and actionable steps to take us there.

SEKEM is the first initiative to develop biodynamic farming methods in Egypt, building up fertile soil structures, improving agro-biodiversity and promoting organic composting; all products of the system can be sold, used in processing or re-used in cultivation. SEKEM’s commitment to innovative development led to the nationwide application of biodynamic methods to control pests and improve crop yields. For example, in collaboration with the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture, SEKEM deployed a new system of plant protection for cotton, reducing total pesticide intake to less than 10% and leading to a ban on crop dusting in the country. SEKEM has grown in the last decade to become a nationally renowned enterprise and market leader in organic consumer goods. Apart from strong and long-lasting export partnerships in Europe and the US, today, more than half of SEKEM’s overall sales are domestic within Egypt, making the country home to one of the largest markets of organic products.

MAOF is nongovernmental, non-profitable organization that helps organize the production and distribution of organic food. MAOF’s primary task is to introduce potential producers of organic food to the possibilities of how to produce and sell food labeled as a “product of organic origin”. Macedonia has the need to educate farmers to change to organic food production, without fearing that lower returns mean lower incomes. Younger generations, even today’s students in primary and middle school, should be educated from this moment on to accept farming and the production of food as an honorable and profitable profession, since “organic” is not a trend but the future of the civilization’s development.
