What it means	A German farmers' association whose private organic standard is stricter than the EU baseline. Covers food, aquaculture, textiles, and cosmetics. Recognised globally.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	Sustainable-agriculture certification (post-2020 merged standard with UTZ). Covers environmental, social, and economic criteria. NOT an organic mark.	The international umbrella body for the organic movement. Not a product label — IFOAM accredits other certifiers worldwide via the IFOAM Family of Standards. If a cert is 'IFOAM-accredited' it has been benchmarked to a globally consistent baseline.

Fair-pricing requirements for member farmers.	≥95% organic ingredients per LPO. Annual on-site inspection by SENASICA-accredited certifier.	Reduced (not eliminated) synthetic pesticide use, with bans on the most hazardous classes. Forest conservation requirements (no deforestation after the cut-off date). Worker welfare and community development requirements. Annual third-party audit.	Accredited certifiers meet the IFOAM Norms and the IFOAM Family of Standards. Independent peer review of certifier governance, inspection rigor, and conflict-of-interest controls.
Does NOT	Membership-based — only farms that join the Naturland association can use the mark.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.	Allows synthetic pesticides — does NOT meet any organic standard. Often confused with organic but it's a different programme.	Does NOT certify products directly — only certifiers. Look for the underlying national / private mark on the package.
