"Organic product certification is considered to be a device whose use makes it possible to assure consumers that the products offered follow organic quality attributes, guaranteeing that the classification and standardisation of agricultural activities in the production system are supported by regulations and standards, as well as respect and protection for the environment, human and animal welfare, and fair trade. The Participatory Guarantee System carries out a series of activities, all of which are participatory in nature, with the aim of guaranteeing whether or not the set of requirements laid down by law that guarantee organic quality have been met."
