In Spain, control and certification of organic agricultural production is conducted through boards or committees of local organic agriculture, public or private bodies, according to the community, dependent ultimately on the Departments of Agriculture of the various autonomous communities.

    Along with this “eco” security of emphasizing the importance of organics, we should also take a look at the importance of buying locally. Buying local organics supports local, family operations, while saving on fuel costs and thereby eliminating more carbon production. Foods grown locally are also well adapted to your local climate, and therefore provide the body the necessary nutrients to thrive in each geographic location.
