Sustainable and organic do not mean the same thing. Beyond the limited scope of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program (NOP), there are no strict rules set up to ensure that organic farmers or organic food production operations follow eco-minded practices.
For members of the organic industry, it's important to be realistic about the limits of organic certification. You should be able to separate organic food facts from sustainable food facts so you can market organics honestly and successfully educate organic consumers.
Here are eight major differences between sustainable food and certified organic food.
***01 Sustainable is Unofficial but Measurable
***02 Sustainable is Small
***03 Sustainable is Water Efficient
***04 Sustainable is Energy Efficient
***05 Sustainable is Low Emission
***06 Sustainable is More Humane
***07 Sustainable is Eco-Friendly Packaging
***08 Sustainable Extends Beyond the Food
