How to recognize an organic product?
The AB logo is an official sign of quality.
Products which carry this logo have been elaborated according
to the production certification of organic agriculture. After
having carried out several controls, an independent certifying
organism (Ecosert sas, Qualité France…) delivers
an organic agriculture production certificate which allows
the producer to use the AB logo.
This official organic logo belongs to the French Ministry
of Agriculture and Fishing.
All Babynat products are certified according to AB standards
(except the Goat Milk and the “Vegetables and Wild Cod
jar”)
Are organic products more expensive than others?
Organic agriculture request more space, more time and more
workforce than conventional agriculture. The output is not
as high and this sometimes causes a price increase for the consumer.
Moreover, organic agriculture is less subsidized than conventional
agriculture. On the other hand, this mode of production respects the environment since the use of artificial fertilizers and
pesticides is prohibited. It is recognized that an
excessive use of these products pollutes the ground, the
subterranean and surface
waters. We have to keep in mind that the costs
of depollution are largely paid for by the taxpayers. Last
but not least, we generally give more importance to an organic
product because we give it more value. At the end of the day
it enables us to consume better
and less. Ex: organic bread keeps better and has more flavour,
which avoids wasting.
What are the advantages of organic
products?
The respect of our beautiful planet
The environment-friendly methods of organic agriculture aim to preserve the environment and to protect the integrity
and quality of the soil and the ground water.
Tasty products
Organic fruit and vegetables are cultivated without artificial
fertilizers and pesticides. Cultivated at the natural rhythm
of the seasons and picked when ripe, they develop their taste,
flavours and nutritional properties.
Human wellbeing
Organic agriculture provides all the benefits of the soil in
a natural way and returns it to customers.
That is why Babynat chooses organic
agriculture.
