Animal welfare and biodynamic-compatible production options.	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual on-site inspection. Covers food, textiles, and personal care under separate standards.	USDA Organic baseline (or equivalent) is a prerequisite. Soil health: cover cropping, no-till or reduced-till, conservation crop rotation, compost. Animal welfare: pasture-based, Five Freedoms, prohibits factory-farm conditions. Social fairness: living wage, freedom of association, safe workplace, no forced or child labour. Three tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold based on adoption depth.
Does NOT	PGS-based — the inspection model is community peer-review rather than third-party. Strong for domestic markets, less recognised by the EU/USA than third-party schemes.	Australia has no single mandatory organic mark — ACO is the dominant one, but NASAA, OFC, and others also certify.	New Zealand has no single legally-mandated 'organic' definition — voluntary certification is the norm.	Newer label (2018+) — supply still limited, mostly US brands.
