Recognised by the EU, US, and Japan under their respective import-equivalence regimes.	The official environmental label of the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland).

Does NOT	Membership-based — only farms that join the Naturland association can use the mark.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.	New Zealand has no single legally-mandated 'organic' definition — voluntary certification is the norm.	Doesn't certify food as organic — Nordic Swan on a food package means lower-environmental-impact, not 'no synthetic pesticides'.
