Organic certification is currently an issue in New Zealand at the behest of the Green Party:
Green Party spokesman for agriculture Steffan Browning has called on the Government to safeguard the value of the term "organic". For him, waiting until 2017 to look at the issue was "simply unacceptable".
Companies can become "certified organic", and by doing this it means they meet an agreed international standard during production, processing, and selling their products.
A certified organic company’s food is free of additives, and has not relied on chemicals during growth.
But certification isn’t compulsory – and there is no legal requirement for claims of uncertified organic produce to be genuine, Browning said.

The one and the same Green Party spokesman Steffan Browning last year called for homeopathic remedies to be used against Ebola!
I wonder which manifestation of quackery will win out: Organic farming or homeopathy? It’ll be fun to watch with glee.
Utopia, you are standing in it!
