It most definitely is crazy, but I am sure a lot of the requirements for the organic label are super important since otherwise more unconscious, profit-based companies would use it for putting still poisonous stuff out there for their own good.
Nevertheless, t is not very helpful that the process is way too expensive for the small farmers. So I am also a big fan of just talking to the farmers and getting to know how they treat their produce. Most of the time, you get a pretty good idea about their true intentions which are mostly very honorable and show their passion for healthy foods instead of cold profits.
Again, such a great post, thank you so much! 💚
