Bioland is the largest organic food and farming association in Germany. It was founded in 1971. Its organic certification arm applies stricter organic standards than those of the European Union. Based on the organic-biological method the Bioland farmers gave themselves organic farming standards, which they continuously maintained, adapted and developed, so that it now includes all aspects of a modern ecological agricultural production, animal husbandry as well as food processing. All Bioland members and contract partners submit to the Bioland inspection system
