WHAT ABOUT ORGANIC HOPS IMPORTS?

Does US organic produce meet the same standards as EU organic produce? Is all organic the same?
By purchasing Organic Hops you promote biodiversity* and
Limit global warming**.
*Hops are subject to the same diseases as vines. As a result, non-organic cultivation can lead to multiple treatments (using synthetic products in particular), which are detrimental to biodiversity in the soil and in the vicinity of hop fields. Organic farming preserves soil life, insects, birds, etc. - in short, biodiversity.
**Organic hop growing favors the use of compost and other fertilizers of natural origin. This results in a high concentration of carbon in the soil. Less CO2 in the air = less warming of the atmosphere.
