The lack of genetic modification and synthetic treatments in its cultivation and marketing is what is special about organic foods.
Specifically, organic food farmers and gardeners have to adhere to set procedures and standards which must be documented and inspected. Among the requirements is the elimination of all chemical, modified, non-organic, synthetic controls and interventions from the preparation of the soil or water for growing all the way to the retailability of the product on the shelf. Organic foods theoretically represent nature at its best through nature-based human intervention.
