Organic farming aims for the sustainable maintenance of a proper environment all the while showing concern for animal welfare. Organic farming strives to create for all animals living conditions that closely approximate their natural requirements. This means providing the animals with more space, an easy access to the outdoors and healthy feed from which are banned all hormones, all antibiotics, all implants, all animal-sourced meals (be it bone meal, blood meal or fat meal), in an environment that has no use for pesticides, herbicides, insecticides or GMOs. Organic farming is the recreation of a natural ecosystem; its methods are applied in full harmony with nature rather than as a hindrance to it.
