Sustainable agriculture
Committed from the beginning to the implementation of vegan traceability from field to plate, Expertise Végane Europe is the official partner of the Biocyclic Vegan Standard certification, an official organic standard approved by IFOAM ORGANICS. This unique and approved international standard embodies a sustainable agriculture that excludes phytosanitary products of animal origin, livestock or breeding, fertilisers from animal excrement and the remains of slaughterhouses (horns, blood, feathers, bones…). It is based on the permanent enrichment of the soil through the maintenance of its organic plant matter and the maintenance of a high level of biodiversity.
