The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people." The principal guidelines for organic production are to use materials and practices that enhance the ecological balance of natural systems and that integrate the parts of the farming system into an ecological whole. Organic agriculture practices cannot ensure that products are completely free of residues; however, methods are used to minimize pollution from air, soil and water. Organic food handlers, processors, and retailers adhere to standards that maintain the integrity of organic agricultural products. ~ Organic Trade Association
