The Principles of Organic Agriculture
As a leading and experienced organic wholesaler, we at DO IT Organic are deeply committed to the core principles that drive the global organic movement. These principles—Care, Health, Ecology, and Fairness—are the foundation on which organic agriculture stands and evolves*. They highlight the vital role that organic agriculture plays in creating a greener, cleaner, and more ethical global food and agricultural system.
The principles of organic agriculture have a strong influence on our approach in the organic market. To emphasize their importance, we have assigned an ambassador to each principle who demonstrates how these values guide and inspire our operations.
