Australian Organic Certified Farm Input

ACO Certified Allowed Inputs are allowed to be used on properties certified to the National Standard for Organic and Biodynamic Produce. Allowed Inputs are materials used as supplementary tools in a balanced organic farm management program. Inputs into an organic production system are generally prohibited if synthetically compounded – defined by the ACO Standard as a process which chemically changes a material derived from plant, animal or mineral resources, with the exception of microbiological processes.
