Naturland Standards

The development of standards and their practical implementation are the key work of any organic agricultural association.
The core of all Naturland’s standards is their holistic approach, sustainable management, nature conservation and climate protection in actual practice, preserving and maintaining the soil, air and water, as well as consumer protection.
Naturland’s standards existed long before the first EU regulations on organic agriculture became law.
Today, too, the consistent development of our standards generates considerable impetus. Besides this, Naturland’s standards also cover areas not yet governed by the EC organic regulation, such as organic aquaculture, the manufacture of textiles and cosmetics, and, with its social standards, social issues.

Presently Naturland issues the following standards (click on the headings below to go to the download files):

 Production

 Beekeeping

 Aquaculture

 Forest management

 Sustainable Capture Fishery

 Processing

 Textiles

 Cosmetic products

 Naturland standards on social responsibility
