Demain la Terre producers also attempt to reduce the use of synthetic crop protection products (commonly known as “pesticides”), and to eliminate any trace of them from their fruit and vegetables.
Within this framework, some of our producers’ fruit and vegetables are inspected and certified as being “FREE OF any detected pesticide residue” or “grown FREE OF any synthetic pesticides”.
Some criteria are applied to any company that requests it, and come on top of the other mandatory criteria enforced by the Demain la Terre Frame of Reference. As such, they are OPTIONAL and ADDITIONAL.
