What it means	South Korea's national organic mark under MAFRA (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs). Required on any food sold as 유기농 in Korea.	Denmark's national organic mark, owned by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. The red Ø is one of the most-trusted food labels in the world — recognised by ~98% of Danish consumers.	The European Commission's voluntary environmental label. Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark.	Germany's largest organic farmers' association. Bioland-certified farms operate to a stricter private standard than the EU baseline.

Guarantees	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual on-site inspection by a MAFRA-accredited certifier.	EU baseline organic (EU 2018/848). Annual on-site inspection by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. Direct government control (not a private body) — the unusual Danish model that drives high consumer trust.	Lifecycle-based environmental criteria per product category. Restrictions on hazardous chemicals. Annual licence renewal with audit.	Whole-farm conversion (no parallel conventional production). Lower permitted nitrogen inputs than EU baseline. Animal welfare standards stricter than EU baseline. Annual on-site inspection.
Does NOT	Cosmetics and textiles are covered under separate Korean schemes, not this mark.	Outside Denmark, retailers usually rely on the EU Leaf rather than the Ø.	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	Like Naturland, membership-based — only Bioland-association farms can use the mark.
