In general, any business directly involved in food production
can be certified, including seed suppliers, farmers, food processors,
retailers and restaurants. Requirements vary from country to country,
and generally involve a set of standards for growing, storing, processing,
packaging and shipping. Synthetic chemical inputs are prohibited,
such as fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, food additives, genetically
