>>2250849it's more than that too. The rules for the organic certification are so strict that no one can really follow them. No dogs in the orchard? Never touching the rungs of the ladder with your hands? A compost watering schedule? No one does this. But it's a rule for certification and everyone fake follows it.
Other scam rules include not being permitted to seed save. All seeds must be registered organic and you must provide receipts so you have to pay for organic approved seeds and can't use your own.
Not to mention the regulations for what you can spray and how intensively monoculture you can be are consistently being expanded to allow more large and corporate farms with no interest in organic ethos a chance to sell food for more money by paying a lot to become certified organic.
