What it means	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	Germany's largest organic farmers' association. Bioland-certified farms operate to a stricter private standard than the EU baseline.	The European Commission's voluntary environmental label. Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark.	The certification mark for biodynamic agriculture. Stricter than any government organic standard: it covers the entire farm as a closed ecosystem, follows a planting calendar tied to lunar/solar cycles, and bans many practices the baseline organic rules permit.
Scope	Food	Food	Several categories	Several categories
Established	2006	1971	1992	1928
Inspection	Annual on-site, SENASICA-accredited	Annual on-site by Bioland-accredited inspectors	Annual audit by national Ecolabel competent body	Annual on-site by Demeter-accredited inspectors
Residue testing	Required	Required	Per-category limits	Risk-based on top of organic
Guarantees	≥95% organic ingredients per LPO. Annual on-site inspection by SENASICA-accredited certifier.	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.	Lifecycle-based environmental criteria per product category. Restrictions on hazardous chemicals. Annual licence renewal with audit.	All organic standards PLUS biodynamic preparations and whole-farm planning. Whole-farm certification (not single fields/products). Annual on-site inspection by Demeter-accredited inspectors. Animal welfare standards stricter than baseline organic.
Does NOT	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.	Like Naturland, membership-based — only Bioland-association farms can use the mark.	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	Biodynamic philosophy includes esoteric elements (lunar planting, herbal preparations) that many scientists view as non-evidence-based — the agronomic outcomes are still good, the underlying claims about cosmic forces are not testable.
