First, what is organic According to China's "organic products" national standards (GB/T19630-2005) requirements, organic products refers to the production, processing and sales process for the human consumption of animals, animals, edible products. Organic standards simply mean that chemically synthesized pesticides, chemical fertilizers, growth regulators, feed additives and other substances, as well as genetically engineered organisms and their products, are not used in the production of plants and animals, and follow a series of natural laws and ecological principles. Sustainable agricultural technologies coordinate the balance between planting and aquaculture and maintain a virtuous cycle of agroecosystems. There are also a full set of strict and standardized management requirements for processing, storage, transportation, packaging, signage, and sales.
Second, the difference between organic agriculture and traditional agriculture Organic agriculture is a new form of agricultural production on the basis of people's new understanding and understanding of nature. Although organic agriculture does not allow the use of chemical synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, growth regulators and feed additives, and transgenic technologies used in modern conventional agriculture, it is by no means a form of production that has returned to slash and burn. Organic agriculture only excludes production technologies and substances that have adverse effects on ecosystems and the natural environment. However, modern agriculture, such as facility cultivation, micro-drip irrigation technology, and pest comprehensive control technology, still advocates the use of foods to ensure food safety and protect the environment. At the same time, it can also improve product quality and output.
Third, the definition of organic food, green food, pollution-free agricultural products Organic food is a category of organic products, but organic products also include cotton, hemp, bamboo, clothing, cosmetics, feed and other "non-food." At present, organic products in China mainly include grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, livestock and poultry products, aquatic products, bee products, and spices.
Green food refers to products that are certified by the China Green Food Development Center and allowed to use the green food mark. Green food certification is based on the Ministry of Agriculture's green food industry standards. Green foods allow the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers in the production process, but the regulations on the amount and residue are stricter than the pollution-free standards.
Pollution-free agricultural products refer to unprocessed or primary processed edible agricultural products that are certified by the Agricultural Product Quality and Safety Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and are allowed to use the signs of pollution-free agricultural products. The use of pesticides is allowed in the production of pollution-free agricultural products, but high-toxicity, high-residue pesticides prohibited by the State cannot be used.
Certification bodies that carry out the certification of organic products, green foods, and pollution-free agricultural products are subject to the approval of the National Certification and Accreditation Regulatory Commission (referred to as the China National Accreditation Administration).
Fourth, to distinguish organic products, what skills should first look at the sale of product packaging on the use of organic products, national signs, and at the same time marked the certification body name or logo; organic products usually used by the packaging of wood, bamboo, plant stems and leaves and paper, etc. Made of biodegradable and recyclable packaging materials. Certificates and other certification materials can also be obtained from the sales organization to check whether the purchased organic products are within the scope of the certification listed in the certificate; there are also some organic product certification organizations and manufacturing companies that have developed anti-counterfeit labels, traceability codes, etc. Use this information for verification queries.
Regulating the market before it can establish consumer confidence The living conditions are getting more and more comfortable, and eating into the mouth is getting more and more worrying. In the interview, many citizens raised higher expectations for food safety.
Nutrition and safety are the reason why organic and green foods are expensive, but they are still concerned and sought after by the public. The standardized market operation will inevitably allow more companies and vegetable farmers to see the huge market of green food and join them. As a result, unsafe food will surely be discarded by everyone and eventually exit the market. Unfortunately, an orderly market environment has not yet formed. Publicly falsified, indiscriminate, fishy, and numerous violations have cast a shadow on green food.
We are delighted to see that in the face of doubts about green food and other issues in the community, regulators have stepped up inspections and rectification efforts. The reporter also found that the amount of green food on the shelves of supermarkets has been significantly reduced, and some “licious ghosts” that counterfeit green food have quietly withdrawn, and supervision has achieved initial results.
Confidence is a little bit accumulating. We must not lose faith in green food and other things that are so difficult for us to establish because of market confusion and lack of supervision.
