Abstract:

The organic market is controlled by legal or private organic standards and regulations. This means that all production steps of a product that are to be sold as "organic" need to meet certain criteria for organic production. To show that these do that the production steps need to be inspected and verified by an accredited certification body. This is often referred to as compliance. Most organic products on the market originate from cultivation on farms. However more recently a number of products which are not cultivated but are collected where they grow naturally are also being sold as organic, such as Devil's Claw. The same principals for "cultivated" apply to "wild collection" although there are some differences regarding the requirements for the certification of wild collected plants.
