Type in the content of your new page here.  __About Organic Food__ **Organic foods** are made according to certain production standards. The use of conventional non-organic [|pesticides], insecticides and herbicides is greatly restricted and avoided as a last resort. However, contrary to popular belief, certain non-organic fertilisers are still used. If livestock are involved, they must be reared without the routine use of antibiotics and without the use of [|growth hormones], and generally fed a healthy diet. In most countries, organic produce may not be [|genetically modified].

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.
