What it means	The federal Canadian organic standard, mandatory on any agricultural product sold across provincial borders or imported as 'organic'.	A German farmers' association whose private organic standard is stricter than the EU baseline. Covers food, aquaculture, textiles, and cosmetics. Recognised globally.	Combined organic + fair-trade + social-responsibility certification. Issued by Ecocert (originally developed by IMOswiss). Stricter than baseline Fairtrade on labour conditions; often paired with an organic mark on the same product.	New Zealand's largest organic certifier. Recognised by the EU, US, and Japan under their respective import-equivalence regimes.

Does NOT	Provincial sales-only operations are not legally required to carry it (though many do voluntarily).	Membership-based — only farms that join the Naturland association can use the mark.	Doesn't itself mean organic — pair with an organic mark for the full picture.	New Zealand has no single legally-mandated 'organic' definition — voluntary certification is the norm.
