Nutrilite Farms - In Cooperation with Nature
NUTRILITE™ is the only global vitamin and mineral brand to grow, harvest and process plants on their
own certified organic farms.
Wherever we grow the ingredients used in NUTRILITE products, the crops are grown in accordance with
nature.
-
We avoid the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and
fertilizers.
-
We replenish the soil, rather than depleting it.
-
We use natural, environmentally-friendly methods to control
weeds, insects, and other harmful predators.
A requirement of all the farms supplying botanical materials adhere to the NUTRICERT™
farm certification program – ensuring that these farms adhere to our own organic farming
philosophy, guided by sustainable, organic principles. The main principles of the
NUTRICERT program include:
-
Crop and vegetation diversity, including vertical diversity
of herbs, trees, and bushes; and integration of animal husbandry, beneficial insects, and
microorganisms.
-
Healthy soil-building practices, such as the use of compost,
beneficial soil microorganisms, erosion control, and minimal use of mineral fertilizers.
-
No soil or environmental contamination, such as using
genetically modified organisms. The idea is to use integrated pest management and protect
the farms from potential sources of contamination from neighboring farms.
-
In-depth quality control standards, including proper
documentation of farm inputs, traceability of crop sources, written plans to avoid
contamination and control pests, and a quality assurance program for farm products
sold.
-
Building a healthy social environment around the farm,
providing farm employees with the opportunity for personal development, including education
and training.
By owning and maintaining control over our own NUTRILITE farms, we can ensure that our
supplements contain only high quality ingredients.
Quality from the ground up.
