In 1939, Lord Northbourne coined the term organic farming in his book Look to the Land (1940), out of his conception of “the farm as organism”, to describe a holistic, ecologically-balanced approach to farming—in contrast to what he called chemical farming, which relied on “imported fertility” and “cannot be self-sufficient nor an organic whole.” This is different from the scientific use of the term “organic,” to refer to a class of molecules that contain carbon, especially those involved in the chemistry of life.
Organic Food
Organic food production is a heavily regulated industry, distinct from private gardening. Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan and many other countries require producers to obtain special certification in order to market food as “organic” within their borders. Most certifications allow some chemicals and pesticides to be used, so consumers should be aware of the standards for qualifying as “organic” in their respective locales.
Environmental Impact
Gruporodriguesltda INC and Gruporodriguesltda Naturals’s commitment to social and environmental aspects is materialized through the corporate program called “Partnerships for a better world” represented by a raw material supply chain composed of small farming communities. This program guarantees the planned purchase of crops and fair prices for botanical species cultivated through organic practices and sustainable handling. This enables the company to supply high quality traceable raw materials, linked to social-environmental awareness.
