FAQs
What is Vegan?
Veganism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The logo of the world's first Vegan
Society, registered in 1944
Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle
that avoids using animals and animal products
for food, clothing and other purposes. In
practice, a vegan (an adherent to
veganism) commits to the abstention from
consumption or use of all animal products,
including meat, fish, poultry, honey, eggs
and dairy products, as well as articles
made of fur, wool, bone, leather, feathers,
pearls, mother of pearl, coral, and other
materials of animal origin. Many vegans
also avoid products that have been tested
on animals. People who avoid eating all
animal products, but who otherwise use animal
by-products (for example, leather shoes)
are commonly referred to as dietary vegans.
What does Organic
mean?
Organic farming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Organic cultivation of mixed vegetables
in Capay, California. Note the hedgerow
in the background.
Organic farming is a form of agriculture
that relies on ecosystem management and
attempts to reduce or eliminate external
agricultural inputs, especially synthetic
ones. It is a holistic production management
system that promotes and enhances agro-ecosystem
health, including biodiversity, biological
cycles, and soil biological activity.
In preference to the use of off-farm inputs,
organic farming emphasizes management practices,
taking into account that regional conditions
require locally adapted systems. Utilizing
both traditional and scientific knowledge,
organic agricultural systems rely on agronomic,
biological, and mechanical methods (these
may require external inputs of nonrenewable
resources, like tractor fuel), as opposed
to using synthetic materials, to fulfill
any specific function within the system.
Organic farming is also associated with
support for principles beyond cultural practices,
such as fair trade and environmental stewardship,
although this does not apply to all organic
farms and farmers.
