Organic Certified Land / Land Area Certified To Organic
Organic Cotton must be grown on land area certified as organic to the IFOAM Family of standards. However, as Organic Cotton is grown within a rotation system to build soil fertility, depending on soil and climatic conditions, the same piece of land may also grow a variety of other crops such as groundnuts, maize and beans etc. As the scope of organic certification covers the variety of crops grown, the land area recorded during a certification process is referred to Organic Certified Land.
