One of seven Australian Department of Agriculture-approved certifiers. IFOAM-accredited; certifies organic and biodynamic produce.

New Zealand has no single legally-mandated 'organic' definition — voluntary certification is the norm.	Australia has multiple competing organic certifiers — NASAA is one of seven, not the dominant national mark (that's ACO).	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.
