What it means	France's national organic mark, owned by the Ministry of Agriculture. Sits alongside the EU Leaf on virtually all French organic packaging.	A German farmers' association whose private organic standard is stricter than the EU baseline. Covers food, aquaculture, textiles, and cosmetics. Recognised globally.
Scope	Food	Several categories
Established	1985	1982
Inspection	Annual on-site by French-accredited certifiers	Annual on-site by Naturland-accredited inspectors
Residue testing	Risk-based	Required
Guarantees	EU baseline organic (EU 2018/848). Annual on-site inspection by accredited French certifiers (Ecocert, Bureau Veritas, Qualité-France).	Stricter than EU 2018/848 (lower nitrogen inputs, full-farm conversion, social standards). Annual on-site inspection. Fair-pricing requirements for member farmers.
Does NOT	Same standard as the EU Leaf — AB is the brand consumers recognise, not a stricter rule.	Membership-based — only farms that join the Naturland association can use the mark.
