The Hawaii Bio-Organic Growers Association is a trade organization of growers formed to promote the market awareness of organic and biologically produced foods. We provide assistance, guidelines, certification, and a unified voice to help our expanding industry supply the growing consumer demand for food produced with non-toxic methods. COOP buying of supplies will organized and will save costs. COOP marketing on the neighbor islands is also possible with a coop structure other markets could include Canada and Japan.
Organic matter is the key word and management of decay systems of the soil is the method used.
Crop rotation with legume crops and use of livestock systems and composted manure are used, instead of soluble chemical salts used as if the soil were a hydroponic media instead of a living eco-system. The raw materials used in a processed organic product must be from a certified organic source. Agriculture is nothing more than the management of biological processes to our benefit. Biological agriculture merely tunes in to those processes. It utilizes the vast field of biological sciences.
