Luomuviljelyllä

Luomuviljelyllä is a Finnish term that translates to "organic farming" or "organic cultivation." It refers to agricultural practices that prioritize ecological balance, biodiversity, and resource conservation. Organic farming aims to produce food and other agricultural products using methods that are sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Key principles of luomuviljelyllä include avoiding synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Instead, organic farmers rely on natural methods such as crop rotation, green manure, compost, and biological pest control. Soil health is a central focus, with emphasis on maintaining and improving its fertility and structure through organic matter. Livestock in organic systems are typically raised with access to pasture and are fed organic feed, with restrictions on the use of antibiotics and hormones.

The certification of luomuviljelyllä products ensures that consumers can identify goods produced according to strict organic standards. These standards are often regulated by governmental bodies or independent certification organizations. The goal is to provide consumers with food that is free from synthetic residues and produced in a way that minimizes environmental impact, supporting a healthier ecosystem for both humans and wildlife. Luomuviljelyllä is part of a broader movement towards sustainable and responsible food production.
