  • AGRICULTURAL HOLDING:  Technical-economic unit that uses common production factors such as labour, machinery, facilities, land, among others, fulfilling the following four conditions: 1) yield agricultural products or maintain, in good agricultural and environmental conditions, the lands that are no longer used for productive purposes; 2) reach or exceed a certain size (in area or number of animals); 3) be subject to a single management; 4) be located in a well-defined and identifiable area.
  • ORGANIC FARMING:  A form of sustainable agricultural production based on the biological activity of the soil, fertilised with organic material, avoiding the use of synthetic chemical products and readily soluble fertilisers, respecting animal welfare and appropriate numbers, favouring preventive strategies in plant and animal health. The aim is to achievehigh-quality foodstuffs, environmental sustainability, use of local resources and dignification of agricultural activities.
