The Saskatchewan Organic Directorate is a non-profit, membership-based, umbrella organization that unites the province's producers, processors, buyers, traders, certifiers and consumers of certified organic food and fibre. We Believe in:
- Producing healthy food and fiber without the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, antibiotics, growth hormones, irradiation, sewag
e sludge, and genetically altered materials.
- Building soil, enhancing crops, managing weeds, insects and disease, by using methods like cultural practices, crop rotations, naturally occurring organisms, green-manuring, tree-planting, livestock, and composting.
- Practicing humane livestock management techniques.
- Maintaining a system of standards, annual inspection/certification and record-keeping to ensure integrity of the product.
- Making the connection between food production and consumption, and keeping that distance as short as possible.
- Building an equitable food system, with good food and fair compensation.
