Organic certificates are a large group of certificates that are quite well known at present. These certificates inform when a product (be it food, cosmetics, clothing, etc.) originates from organic farming, which is more environmentally friendly due to its restricted use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Moreover, both balance and biodiversity of the agricultural ecosystem are emphasised. Using renewable resources and recycling of the materials is also highly preferable. Regarding animal products, the welfare of animals and the fulfilment of their ethological needs are features that are also, to a greater or lesser extent, taken into consideration

The use of GMO and GMO products is strictly limited in organic agriculture, as well as the use of chemicals and products from intensive agricultural systems. Similarly, the use of local natural resources, and an emphasis on local or regional ecological stability is preferred.
