Organic (EarthWise Alliance Standard):

Organic practices are those that operate in harmony with natural systems and biological processes, without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), gene-edited inputs, sewage sludge, irradiation, synthetic growth regulators, petrochemical substances, or undisclosed chemical formulations at any stage of production or processing.

EarthWise Organic prioritizes soil vitality, biodiversity, ecological balance, clean water, and human health across the full lifecycle of a product — from seed to shelf.

Regenerative practices go further by actively restoring ecosystems through methods that rebuild soil carbon, protect pollinators, preserve genetic diversity (including heirloom and open-pollinated seeds), and enhance resilience for future generations.

EarthWise Alliance recognizes organic and regenerative integrity as systems of responsibility, not minimum compliance labels.
