Does NOT	Australia has multiple competing organic certifiers — NASAA is one of seven, not the dominant national mark (that's ACO).	Membership-based — only farms that join the Naturland association can use the mark.	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	Allows synthetic pesticides — does NOT meet any organic standard. Often confused with organic but it's a different programme.
