DescriptionOrganic production is a holistic system designed to optimize th

39、e productivity and fitness of diverse communities within the agroecosystem, including soil organisms, plants, livestock and people. The principal goal of organic production is to develop enterprises that are sustainable and harmonious with the environment.CAN/CGSB-32.310, Organic Production Systems

40、General Principles and Management Standards, describes the principles and management standards of organic production systems.CAN/CGSB-32.311, Organic Production Systems Permitted Substances Lists, provides lists of substances that are allowed for use in organic production systems.As in the case of a

41、ll products sold in Canada, organic inputs and products derived from organic agriculture should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements.II. General Principles of Organic ProductionOrganic production is based on principles that support healthy practices. These principles aim to increase th

42、e quality and the durability of the environment through specific management and production methods. They also focus on ensuring the humane treatment of animals.The general principles of organic production include the following:1. Protect the environment, minimize soil degradation and erosion, decrea

43、se pollution, optimize biological productivity and promote a sound state of health.2. Maintain long-term soil fertility by optimizing conditions for biological activity within the soil.3. Maintain biological diversity within the system.4. Recycle materials and resources to the greatest extent possib

44、le within the enterprise.5. Provide attentive care that promotes the health and meets the behavioural needs of livestock.6. Prepare organic products, emphasizing careful processing, and handling methods in order to maintain the organic integrity and vital qualities of the products at all stages of p

45、roduction.7. Rely on renewable resources in locally organized agricultural systems.III. Organic PracticesNeither this standard1nor organic products labelled in accordance with this standard represent specific claims about the health, safety and nutrition of such organic products.Management methods a

46、re carefully selected in order to restore and then sustain ecological stability within the enterprise and the surrounding environment. Soil fertility is maintained and enhanced by promoting optimal biological activity within the soil and conservation of soil resources. Weeds, pests and diseases are

47、managed using biological and mechanical control methods, and cultural practices, including minimized tillage. Crop selection and rotation are important for managing nutrient cycling, recycling of plant and animal residues, water management, augmentation of beneficial insects to encourage a balanced

48、predatorprey relationship, and the promotion of biological diversity, and ecologically based pest management.1References throughout this document to “this standard” refer to CAN/CGSB-32.310, Organic Production Systems General Principles and Management Standards.Copyright Canadian General Standards B
