What is organic coffee?
Organic coffee is grown using materials and methods that leave a small impact on the environment. Organic coffee production maintains and replenish soil fertility, which means a reduce use of toxic pesticides and fertilizers (fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation). Third-party certification organizations verify that organic coffee farmers use only methods and materials allowed in organic production. Some states have a division or commissions such as the State of New Mexico Organics Commission that certifies the product meets organic standards and definitions.
