In pursuit of its commitments to biodiversity, the Synabio will publish new recommendations in mid-April for organic companies to combat imported deforestation and preserve natural ecosystems through their imports of exotic products, going beyond the organic specifications.

Organic farming, in both the South and the North, represents a powerful tool for preserving biodiversity. The ban on pesticides and synthetic fertilizers represents a major reduction in the pressures exerted. In the absence of chemicals, producers are also pioneers in the implementation of good practices that allow them to maintain a good level of yield in cooperation with living organisms (long rotations, soil cover, agroforestry, organic amendments, etc.).

While organic farming provides a solid foundation for preserving biodiversity in exotic sectors, Synabio believes it is essential for our sector to set progress targets that complement the requirements of the organic regulation, particularly in terms of combating deforestation, preserving and regenerating natural ecosystems, and supporting producers. Organic farming must remain a pioneering and exemplary model in terms of preserving biodiversity.

To support companies in improving their imports of exotic products, Synabio will publish five key recommendations in mid-April, along with an educational guide. This publication will be fully public and will complement the biodiversity guide published by Synabio in March 2022.
