It's easy to say "organic"! Let's clarify the differences between organic, natural, and sustainable.

Organic, natural, eco-friendly… but what do they really mean?

How many times have you read words like “organic,” “natural,” or “eco” on labels?
They are often used in a confusing or even misleading way, making it difficult to understand whether a product is truly sustainable and controlled.

It's time to clear things up!

What does organic really mean?

A product can only be defined as organic if it is certified according to a specific standard.
In Europe the reference is EC Regulation 834/2007 , which provides:

  • No GMOs.
  • Reduced or absent use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
  • Seasonal crops and field rotation.
  • Use of natural fertilizers and biological control.

✅ Only certified products can legally use the word “organic”.

Be careful with the terms: "natural" is not synonymous with "organic"

Terms like “natural,” “eco,” “green,” or “organic” are not regulated .
They can appear on packaging or company names even without certifications .

It's not illegal, but it can be misleading .

🔍 To really know what you are buying, check for the official organic logo .

How to behave at the farmers' market?

At the market you often find local, fresh and zero-mile products.
But be careful: organic certification is expensive and not all small producers can afford it, even if they work naturally.

➡️ Ask the manufacturer directly:

  • Do you grow seasonally?
  • Do you use pesticides?
  • Do you practice field rotation?
