Summary in the original language of the document
This publication focuses on producing and marketing organic fruits and nuts, highlighting a systems approach to orchard production and farm management. Not intended as a comprehensive production guide for individual fruit crops, this publication introduces key production issues that merit consideration for any specific crop or production region. ATTRA has other publications for specific fruit and nut crops.
This publication includes references to the organic standards authorized by the USDA’s National Organic Program, ams.usda.gov/nop. Organic producers from Europe need to verify with the appropriate certification bodies that their practices and materials they intend to use are compliant with applicable standards for their intended markets and that local production and labeling requirements are considered.
Summary translation
Diese Publikation konzentriert sich auf die Produktion und Vermarktung von biologischem Obst und Nüssen, wobei ein systemischer Ansatz für die Obstproduktion und die Betriebsführung im Vordergrund steht. Diese Publikation ist nicht als umfassender Produktionsleitfaden für einzelne Obstkulturen gedacht, sondern stellt wichtige Produktionsaspekte vor, die für jede spezifische Kultur oder Produktionsregion zu berücksichtigen sind. ATTRA hat weitere Veröffentlichungen für bestimmte Obst- und Nusskulturen.
Diese Publikation enthält Verweise auf die vom National Organic Program des USDA genehmigten Öko-Standards, ams.usda.gov/nop. Ökologische Erzeuger aus Europa müssen sich bei den entsprechenden Zertifizierungsstellen vergewissern, dass ihre Praktiken und Materialien, die sie zu verwenden beabsichtigen, mit den geltenden Standards für die von ihnen angestrebten Märkte übereinstimmen und dass die lokalen Produktions- und Kennzeichnungsanforderungen berücksichtigt werden.
