Followfood ECO Demeter Frozen Spinach Leaves

Demeter certification represents the highest quality standard specifically for biodynamic agriculture. Biodynamic agriculture is a holistic and sustainable approach to agriculture, which combines ecological and social principles. Demeter is a certification organization that deals with this standard worldwide.

When the Demeter standard is applied to frozen vegetables, this implies compliance with specific principles of biodynamic agriculture. Here are some important aspects that are associated with the Demeter quality standard for frozen vegetables:

1. Biodynamic agriculture: The raw materials used for frozen vegetables must come from farms that practice biodynamic agriculture. This involves the use of sustainable methods, protecting biodiversity and the responsible management of natural resources.

2. Crop rotation: Biodynamic agriculture promotes crop rotation to maintain soil fertility and prevent its depletion. Frozen vegetables should come from such agricultural systems.

3. Use of compost: Farmers must use natural compost to improve soil structure and to provide essential nutrients to plants. This contributes to the increased quality of the products.

4. Absence of pesticides and synthetic chemical fertilizers: The Demeter standard places a special emphasis on avoiding the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Farmers must resort to natural methods of pest control and fertilization.

5. Freezing quality: When vegetables are frozen, the process must be carried out in such a way as to preserve as much as possible the nutritional and organoleptic qualities of the product.

About the supplier

It started in 2007. Jürg Knoll and Harri Butsch came to the conviction that it is not possible to continue at this rate with the industrial production of food. So they decided to completely transform their business based exclusively on sustainable food and transparent processing methods.

It started with followfish, with the aim and vision of saving the seas. The mission struck a chord with many people and made followfish the most successful frozen fish brand in a short time. However, it also confirmed their determination to continue working on their visions of a better world. So it continued with followfood and the vision of saving the soils.

In the meantime, there are over 90 sustainable frozen, canned and fresh products, as well as numerous ecological projects and activities.
