Mukawona zakudya, zodzoladzola, ndi zoyeretsa zomwe zimatchedwa organic, sizikutanthauza kokha mankhwalawo komanso momwe zokolola kapena zosakaniza zakula ndikugwiritsidwa ntchito.
Mwachidule, zokolola zam'madzi ndi zina zowonjezera zimakula popanda kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala ophera tizilombo, sludge zamadzimadzi, feteleza zokonza, zamoyo zomwe zasinthidwa, zamoyo, kapena ma radiation. Ndi zochepa zazing'ono, nyama, mazira, ndi mkaka, zimachokera ku zinyama zomwe sizipatsidwa mankhwala opha tizilombo kapena mahomoni okula.
Ngakhale kuti mawu akuti "zachirengedwe" angagwiritsidwe ntchito pa lida iliyonse yamagetsi popanda kutsimikiziridwa ndi munthu wina, chinthucho chiyenera kutsimikiziridwa ngati chiyenera kutchedwa "organic."
Chogogomezera ndi alimi ogwiritsa ntchito zowonjezereka ndikutsanzira zachilengedwe kuti azisunga ndi kusunga nthaka ndi madzi popanda kuipitsa chilengedwe. Zakudya zowonongeka zomwe zimapangidwanso zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kuti zikhale zoyenerera kuti zikhalebe zogwirizana ndi zinthu zomwe zimapangidwanso. Zitsanzo zina za ntchito zaulimi zimaphatikizapo kugwiritsa ntchito manyowa, manyowa, ndi kusinthasintha mbeu kuti nthaka ikhale yathanzi mwachibadwa. Nthaka yathanzi imathandiza kuti zomera zisagwiritsidwe ndi matenda ndi tizirombo. Mawu amodzi omwe amasonyeza kukula kwa mbeu ndi "kudyetsa nthaka osati mbewu". Mbewu nthawi zambiri zimakula mogwirizana ndi nyengo ndipo alimi akulima nthawi zambiri amalima mbewu zosiyanasiyana mmalo mwake. Ngakhale kulima kwa ulimi sikulola kuti mankhwala ambiri asagwiritsidwe ntchito, mankhwala ena ophera tizilombo omwe amachokera ku magwero a chilengedwe amaloledwa kubzala chakudya chamagulu.
Kulima kwachilengedwe kumathandiza kuteteza kutentha kwa nthaka ndikuziteteza ku zinyama zakutchire, mitsinje ndi madzi osungira m'malo mwa ulimi wamba womwe ukhoza kuwononga zachilengedwe ndi zowonjezera feteleza ndi mankhwala ophera tizilombo.
Pofuna kutenga nawo mbali ku NOP (National Organic Program) ndipo chinthu chisanayambe kutchulidwa kuti "Organic," chizindikiritso chovomerezedwa ndi boma chiyenera kuyendera famu ndi malo omwe chakudyacho chimakula ndikukonzedwa kuti zitsimikizire kuti mlimi akutsatira zonse malamulo oyenera kukwaniritsa USDA organic miyezo.
Makampani omwe amakonza kapena kusakaniza chakudya chambiri asanafike ku malo osungirako zakudya kapena malo odyera am'deralo ayenera kutsimikiziranso.
Kuphatikiza pa kuyendera, famu, purosesa kapena wothandizira ayenera kuika dongosolo lachilengedwe lomwe limafotokoza ntchito zawo zonse. Ofufuza amaonetsetsa kuti njira zakutchire monga kusamalira nthaka kwa nthawi yaitali, kudula m'minda yoyandikana nayo, ndikutsata ndondomeko yoyenera. Kuwunika kumaphatikizaponso kubwereza famu ya malo oyeretsera ndi njira zowononga tizilombo komanso kayendedwe ndi kusungirako.
Mitengo yomwe imatumizidwa kuchokera ku mayiko ena koma ogulitsidwa monga "organic" ku USA yatsimikiziridwa ndi USDA National Organic Program. Monga momwe ziliri ku USA, malo awo amayendera chaka ndi chaka ndipo amatsatira malamulo omwe akupanga ndi ogwira ntchito a US ali nawo.
Ndikofunika kuzindikira kuti ulimi wakulima umalimbikitsa chithandizo chaumunthu cha nyama. Zinyama zamoyo zimatha kupita kunja, ndipo zamoyo zimayang'aniridwa chaka ndi chaka. Chovomerezekacho chimayesa chiwerengero cha zinyama pa phazi lalikulu ndi acre ndipo chimayesa ngati chiri chokwanira zinyama. Mofanana ndi ntchito zonse za organic, iwo amadabwa kuyesedwa.
Pali kusiyana pakati pa nyama ndi "zinyama".
Ngati chinyama chili ndi ufulu, chimatanthauza kuti chili ndi mwayi wopita kunja koma palibe zofunikira zokhudzana ndi kudyetsa, mankhwala, mahomoni komanso antibiotic monga momwe zilili ndi USDA Organic.
