  • ORGANIC FARMING:  A form of sustainable agricultural production based on the biological activity of the soil, fertilised with organic material, avoiding the use of synthetic chemical products and readily soluble fertilisers, respecting animal welfare and appropriate numbers, favouring preventive strategies in plant and animal health.
