3 Terms and Definitions
For the purpose of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
Organic agriculture
A kind of agricultural production mode in which organisms and their products are acquired without adopting gene engineering in production and without using chemosynthetic pesticide, chemical fertilizer, growth regulator and feed additives, etc., and which complies with natural law and ecology principle, balances plant production and cultivation industry, adopts a series of sustainable agricultural technique to maintain continuous and stable agricultural production system.
3.2
Organic product
The product produced, processed and sold according to this standard and consumed by human being and eaten by animals.
3.3
Conventional
Production system and its products fail to be managed according to this standard.
3.4
Conversion period
A period from the beginning of managing according to this standard to the time that production unit and product obtain organic certification.
3.5
Parallel production
The case that organic, organically converted or conventional products (the same or hard to distinguish) are simultaneously produced in the same production unit.
3.6
Buffer zone
The transition area which is purposely set between organic and conventional plots, clearly defined and used to restrict or resist shift of prohibited substances in the adjacent field parcel.
