  • Whole-farm conversion (no parallel conventional production).

  • Animal welfare standards stricter than EU baseline.
  • Annual on-site inspection.

Does NOT
  • Like Naturland, membership-based — only Bioland-association farms can use the mark.

  • There aren't many Tún-certified operations (~120–160) — coverage in the Icelandic market is narrower than in the EU mainland.
