Principle of fairness

• Fairness is characterized by equity, respect, justice and stewardship of the shared world, both among people and in their relations to other living beings.
• This principle deals with human relations and relations between humans and other living beings.
• Human relationships whether within or touched by organic agriculture should ensure fairness at all levels and to all parties – producers, farm workers, processors, distributors, traders or consumers – and should be seen to do so.
• Organic agriculture should provide everyone involved with a good quality of life, and contribute to food sovereignty and reduction of poverty.
