It should be recalled that organic food production comprises a system based on a holistic and integrated management of resources to produce in a sustainable manner. In the case of the food sector, it provides products without traces of agrochemicals or genetically modified organisms, since it expressly excludes them, both in its raw material (field) and in its processing.

This production system seeks to protect the environment and the health of consumers, guaranteeing quality attributes through certification and traceability. In this sense, it is important that the products bear the certifier’s logo and the official “Organic Argentina” isologo, the use of which is mandatory.
