An '''organic''' product (e.g. food, clothing) is made without the use of synthetic chemicals. It is likely to be free of human made [[w:pesticide|pesticide]]s and chemical [[w:fertilizer|fertilizer]]s.   It does not disrupt the local ecology and is probably of local origin, e.g. [[w:Slow Food|Slow Food]].
 
The [[label]] '''organic''' is variously defined.  There is a range of [[audit]] procedures one might apply to determine what is "[[not organic]]".  [[Faction]]s make it impossible to settle on one strict and global definition, so this is a '''''[[contested term]] - see [[glossary]] for other such contested terms.'''''
